This is essentially impossible to do in a way that would preserve the character of the C++ code. That is, if you wanted to further edit the translated code, or even just read it, you would find it cryptic and difficult. (I speak here of C++ in its full generality. Limited subsets of C++ which avoid its best features will translate more readily.) Edison Design Group sells a compiler which translates C++ into C, so that might be a starting point. The same caveats apply.
