The software converts C programming code to C++ programming code using a Python script.
Aside from the main program, this archive also includes several other scripts that might prove useful for your project. For instance, the mover.py script allows you to change the location of your project, while the search.py script lets you perform searches and replacements. The mkheader.py script is designed to correct header files.
One thing to bear in mind is that the C to C++ program, along with all the Python sources, is available under the GNU GPL license. What this means is that you can use and distribute this software freely, as long as you keep the copyright information intact. Details about this license can be found in the COPYING file.
It's worth noting that the intention behind the creation of this tool is not necessarily to encourage people to convert their C sources to C++. These tools may be most helpful to C programmers who are working on projects that don't require conversion.
To install, you simply need to input a series of commands through your terminal, " ./configure ./setup mkdoc", which will generate an HTML and info manual for this software. Keep in mind that all you need to run C to C++ is Python.
