Hi again!

No, the "output source code" is standard-compliant C++ code. Only if ac++ 
"knows" that g++ is used as the back-end compiler (see --gnu option), some 
g++-specific code (attributes) is generated that improves the performance.

The only problem with other compilers is the input source code, namely header 
files that come with the compiler.

If that helps you, you could use g++ system header files for weaving your 
project (see ag++ --weave_only) and later use an arbitrary standard-compliant 
compiler to generate the machine code from the woven C++ code. This is possible. 
Sorry, if I misunderstood your question.

Best regards,

Olaf Spinczyk
