AT&T's CFRONT has been ported to CRAY YMP's and 2's. Since CFRONT just produces C code, it is possible to get vectorized code by using a vectorizing C compiler as the backend. Unfortunately, however, the constructs which one tends to use in C++ code often result in C code which is too complex for cc/scc's optimizer.
