I know that, but your reasoning is wrong. When GCC was in C and I 
started MELT,
it needed more RAM and more CPU to get built (and it generated C code, 
not C++).
 So it is definitely not a matter of C++.
If you want to discuss why is it so (I know quite well the reasons), let 
us please do so on address@hidden

Cheers.
