That is a big problem.

Start with the C++ grammar at www.antlr.org. It will need work to
bring it up to the C++ standard. That may be a significant
undertaking.

Not as far as I know. Take a look at the documentation on the ANTLR
web site. Also look at some of the papers (under "Articles"). Also
read a good intro to compilers book to get a good feel for EBNF
grammars and read a book on building a recursive descent compiling to
get a feel for what compilers are about.

This is a pretty friendly group. If you do decide to tackle
translation of C++, then keep in touch on this group. There would be
considerable interest in tracking the project--there are a lot of
people who would like a complete C++ front end for analysis tools.
Good luck!
