GNU C++ is not a C++ to C translater, but a C++ compiler. It compiles
the C++ source into assembly and then calls gas to assemble it into
object code. There is not C source code step. (The original AT+T
implementation was based on a C++ to C source code translater called
cfront, but very few C++ compilers are cfront based anymore.)
