I think also think it should not be too dificult --if you have a very simple 
modell, that is.--. you just have to make a strucutre with all the data 
members of the class, and at the the code generator has to insert an extra 
parameter to the function (the "this" pointer)
You'd only have to prefix all function names with the class (because of name 
conflicts)

the problem is that now the C++ compiler takes care of inherited functions, 
and if you want to generate C code you would have to and examine the whole 
clase hierarchie to generate the code.
