You could always flip that around and have a to-C++ compiler.

IME, parsing the headers can get you a long way and alows you to easly
add additional info to members in-place. Handling all the cornercases
of C++ would be hard, but we don't want to use those anyway, so that
is not a problem.

Haven't needed different constness yet, what do you mean by that?

We use flags for object ownership on pointers (in contrast to just
linking), barriers to define deep copy limits, versioning info for
serialization, hints for GUI for loading/streaming and a bunch of
others.

Cheers,
