Greg- You're right about my incorrect use of the term "interpreter;" I'd claim temporary insanity, only many would immediately argue the use of the adjective "temporary…" What I was referring to with respect to Lattice C++ is the disadvantage of its production of C source code as its output, obscuring the constructs and syntax of the original C++ source and thus adding greatly to the difficulty of debugging. I know that Cfront is the de facto "standard," but I personally don't feel a C++-to-C-to-binary is worth the trouble. – (!) –
