No, it is not possible to translate Ada to C++ using GNAT, since
in no sense does GNAT translate Ada to either C or C++ during
compilation.

There is no technology I am aware of that can translate Ada code to
high level C++ code, nor is it easy to conceive of anything that
would achieve a 100% translation that resulted in useful and
readable C++, so the conception here is basically flawed. If you
want C++ you must write in C++ :-(
