java - Compiling C++ for the JVM

Question

When compiling C++ you of course use a compiler for the target platform you want to compile for. Is there a C++ compiler that targets the JVM (so instead of using the Java "native" interface C++ code is compiled to Java byte code)?

Answer 1

NestedVM provides binary translation for Java Bytecode. This is done by having GCC compile to a MIPS binary which is then translated to a Java class file. Hence any application written in C, C++, Fortran, or any other language supported by GCC can be run in 100% pure Java with no source changes.
