kfront is the C++ to C translator by Kai. It is used for their highly
optimizing compilers for several Unixes. But it is generally meant to be
used with the C compiler as the output of kfront needs some libraries which
may/may not be availabe for the platform you are interested in. Lucent (ex
AT&T Bell labs) has cfront but its C output is quite mangled and would be a
nightmare for debugging.
Kai may be willing (for a fee ofcourse :-) to port the library to your
platform. You should be asking them. Btw a description of your needs might
get you some alternative solutions.
