Object Oriented ANSI C? [duplicate]

Answer 1

There is in fact an effort underway called the OOC language to write a language like C that is object orientated. It is slightly different to C and therefore isn't Objects in C at all, and personally I've never used it - it diverges too far from C for my taste, but it might be worth a look.

It does, interestingly, translate "OOC" to C before compilation. It might be worth a look at how it achieves this as it will effectively be converting objects to C. I suspect this will be done as other posters have mentioned (struct pointers etc) although again I haven't looked at it.
