We should chat some more, perhaps you could help me crack this problem.

So a more interesting question might be, if you think that there are a sufficiently large part of the code base, that it's worthwhile to create a translator, which contains a sufficiently "safe" or restricted subset of C++, to make "understanding" possible?

C++ is one of the hardest languages for "understanding" such that it can be rewritten. It’s possible but it will require a lot of work to write tools for that.
