a filter to transform from source language A to target language B[/quote]
Well, that was my idea; read a file and output C++ code, before compiling it. I didn't really want to make a whole new compiler and language because I wanted to get more experience in programming before I did something like that.
Also, will I have to learn Java to use ANTLR? Or is there another tool for language recognition which is written in C/C++?
How were new features added to C?

ANTLR is often used in a Java-context but it can generate code for Ada95, ActionScript, C, C#, Java, JavaScript, Objective-C, Perl, Python, and Ruby (shamelessly copied from the Wikipedia entry). My experience with it is not exactly deep or recent but from what I know it is a more modern replacement for the usual lex/yacc-family of tools.
