Saying this (because the first C++ compilers happened to take advantage
of C as an already existing, portable code generator) is equivalent to
calling GNAT a preprocessor (because it happens to take advantage of the
gcc back end as an already existing, portable code generator).
In fact, both are true compilers, not preprocessors. Their choice of
intermediate representations carries with them both benefits and costs,
as is always true in compiler design.
