The back end for C++ is often C. In the early days of C++ compilers, implementors took advantage of the fact that C++ was an extension of C, and wrote C++ compilers that generated C as an intermediate file, passing it to a C compiler. Nowadays, most C++ compilers generate native object code in their own right, although there are still a few implementations that use the C++ to C paradigm.
