Hi Dragisha,

I'm currently working on the graft of gm2 into gcc-5.2.0.  I think the
port is close to having something testworthy (ie a set of binaries
built).  In summary the translation tool mc has translated itself into C
and all libraries into C, it has translated all the gm2-libs into C++.
It is translating much of the compiler into C++ - but fails on
translating ppg.mod (variant record issue).  If I recall all the driver
'gm2' is done - it is just a question of finishing the automatic
translation of the compiler sources into C++ (which feels almost
complete).

I feel optimistic about current progress, hopefully soon - Christmas?
Most of the bugs appear to involve casting using the new C++ method,
which again gives confidence that at some point soon it will just
completely work.  Interestingly enough I need the translation tool to
translate some code into C++ for work before next term.  So it is great
to see two birds being killed by one stone!

regards,
Gaius
