I cannot speak as far as modifying the GCC source code ( haven't done
that), but you could try syntax directed translation. In other
words...


1) Build the syntax tree from your parser
2) Parse the syntax tree to transform the desired structures
from C++ to C.


It is generally a pretty painless method.




Hope this helps,
Jerry
