Have a look at Lightweight C++. 
The original site is gone but the files are still availables.
PyVM by the same author has LWC++ 1.4

Lightweight C++ 1.3.2 description
Lightweight C++ is a programming language that looks like C++ (a lightweight
C++ dialect) and is directly translated to readable C by the lwc
preprocessor.
Its more "K&R" and, well, more lightweight. Important thing about
lightweight C++ is that by studying the generated C code it is easy to
understand how OOP features are implemented and what is the cost of
everything.
Adding new features and extensions is also very easy (much easier than
adding new C++ extensions to gcc at least), and this is one of lwc goals: To
keep evolving.
Main features:
- function overloading,
- member functions,
- inheritance,
- virtual functions (polymorphism),
- multiple inheritance,
- virtual inheritance and pure virtual functions,
- constructors, destructors,
- new and delete,
- default function arguments,
- simple exceptions (no auto destruction of locals)
- and a mechanism of simplistic templates (implemented as high-level
multi-line macros).
- operator overloading (works with ptrs when it can)
- +other
Enhancements:
- Changed the generated code for the gcc cleanup attribute so that if a
constructor throws, the destructor is not invoked. As in the simple case
where we dont have the cleanup attribute and like C++.
