Does Ada to C++ translator exist?

[Michael Yang]

Is anyone aware of a freeware Ada to C++ translator?  I know that there
are complete Ada grammars in yacc out there which can be used to help
build a translator, but I was wondering if anyone decided to take it all
the way from Ada to C++.

I was considering doing this myself.  But, since such an undertaking
would be rather large to say the least, it would save me a lot of work
if it had already been done!

Thanks in advance for any response.

As an advocate of not repeating work, you should consider searching
an archive of this newsgroup to see if there is an answer.  You will
see that the question is asked about every three weeks producing no
responses other than discussions of the feasibility or infeasibility
of such a tool, followed by discussions about how to interpret the
meaning of the words in the request.
