It would be a very hard task. It sounds almost like a compiler.
(In fact it is a language translator.)
Well, "malloc" is really a problem, because it can be used either to
allocate a string or any data type. C is not a very good language.
(With C compilers under Windows NT, you can use a set of macros with
allow you to write a code that can be compiled either to handle 8-bit
chars or 16-bit (Unicode) chars, just by defining or not a compiler
directive. But the problem remains if you have written code without
these macros and want to convert it.
For C++, no problem with "new".
