> Does Cray have, or have plans for, a vectorizing C++ compiler for the YMP?

  AT&T's CFRONT has been ported to CRAY YMP's and 2's. Since CFRONT just
produces C code, it is possible to get vectorized code by using a vectorizing
C compiler as the backend. Unfortunately, however, the constructs which one
tends to use in C++ code often result in C code which is too complex for
cc/scc's optimizer.
