The ocatve to C++ translator by Jens Rueckenagel is probably the most
complete attempt at an octave "compiler" that you will find. It is based on
a start made by JD Cole.
http://www.stud.tu-ilmenau.de/~rueckn/
Jens gives information, at the end of his thesis, about speed comparisons
between the compiled code and the interpreted code. The gain is not very
great as yet; partly because type inferencing is not attempted and partly
because indexing is done in the same way as in the interpreter. Jens says
in his thesis that he is going to tackle some of these issues in his
Masters..... over to you, Jens!
