From FB, I think it will have to be manually coded ,as Patrice did with his PB-based libraries. An automated translation would cause too many cryptic bugs.

The trivial stuff like curly braces and semicolons could be automated quite easily though.

I think the smart way is to use Daniel's tool to convert BaCon to C. You have a working model to use as a guide. That could then be the gold standard for a traditional BASIC to ANSI/C tranlator. Variations could be derived from that. The biggest obstacle I see is a efficient memory/string manager. Is multi-threading a feature that should be considered for a BASIC to C translator?  

Trying to convert the O2 compiler to C++ is unrealistic IMHO.
