Compile C++/Java into C--Possible ?

Thread view:

Hi,
I know that some granddaddy-level C++ compiler can compile C++ code
into a C intermediate. Apart from that, however, I can not find any
modern compiler to do that. And in fact, I think, this factor is very
pragmatical for a C programmer to learn Java more effectively.

Any one can give me some information on that ? Tools, compilers or
other methods applicable are all attractive to me.

Thanks.

I wouldn't expect too much. The intermediate C code might be very
bloated and hard to read. It was it at least for SAS/C++ about 10 years
ago. The code was compilable and working, but was not intended to be
human readable.

You mean you want a Java to C transpiler?
I've never heard of such a thing.

don't know about compilers, what translators.
