Well i ported jikes which is written totaly in c++, its not simple code
either but seems (i am not c++ expert), to use all c++ facilities even
templates, and it built ok appart from some stuff missing from stdlibc++.

It did fall over on lclint with an internal error, which seems to have
been some kind of interal stack overflow (or simmilar) because it
happended on a really large 200k+ bison generated c++ file. But appart
from that it seems quite stable.
