CFront was the original front end and it has been enhanced somewhat
since its early days.  But I believe it isn't likely to support all of
G++'s features.  You'll find it on sources:

Of course, one could try to persuade C++ developers not to exceed
CFront's capabilities, but unfortunately, those are not the ways of
the world.
