The GCC project has rewritten part of GCC in C++.

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2012-08/msg00015.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=2b15d2ba7eb3a25dfb15a7300f4ee7a141ee8539

This is being done for essentially the same reasons that I advocate
rewriting the Csound engine (not opcodes) in C++.

In particular see the rationales at the lower part of:

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/cxx-conversion

A major motive here obviously is to replace C collection classes with
templated C++ standard library collections. The benefits anticipated
include greater clarity, greater maintainability, and more speed. Part
of the work involves removing macros in favor of C++ inline code.

Mike
