Not really. In CLC. the topic here is the C /language/ rather than
specific implementations of it. And converting one language to another
is certainly nontopical.

ISTR that you wanted an implementation for a PIC of some sort -
comp.arch.embed ded might be a better place to ask.

That would be unwise.

Whether he was cranky or not I cannot determine, but he was
completely correct in pointing out that the question is
off-topic. We discuss *only* the C programming language here, not
tools to convert C++ to C code, not tools to edit C code; not
even tools to compile C code. Only the language itself is topical
here (besides the universally topical topic of topicality... such
as this message ;-) ) It is similarly off-topic in comp.lang.c++
as well.

You speak as one who has the authority to determine who is a good
contributor to these newsgroups, whereas so far you do not.

Indeed. In case anyone's been spending the last few years under a stone on
Mars, Jack Klein is one of the most clueful respondents on clc (can't speak
for clc++, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he were highly respected
there, too).

ROTFL :-)! Sometimes this NG is better than "Seinfeld."
