I have been where you now tread!
On the subject of translation from one high level language to another
(significantly different one). I think the consensus of opinion is that,
if you need the result to be readable (by humans), manual translation is
likely to be the only workable option.
Machine translation is certainly possible. Since GNAT produces C code (and
C++ is pretty well a superset of C), this suggests a possibility (doubtless
not entirely wrinkle-free). Also, automated translation, or partial
translation, could well be a good way to get a 'jump start' for a manual
translation (and it may even be practical for you to program this yourself,
since you need only be rough).
