It should not be possible via GNAT, since GNAT and G++ are two
different front-ends to the same back end. The fact that GNAT
can emit Java byte code is an anomoly to support the Java byte
code engine as a "target". GNAT generally emits either machine
code (in ASCII) or assembler code (I don't know which).

Averstar can sell you an Ada compiler that emits ANSI C, which
might be a subset of C++ (for the subset of ANSI C they use).
But since you wanted C++ you probably wanted it to use features
of C++ that are not in C.
