Octave is written in mostly standard C++, so, if I understand your
question, I don't think there will be a problem with conflicting
function or keyword names.

I suppose it depends on the compiler.  If you are using gcc, use -O2
and *don't* use -fno-strength-reduce.  If you are not using gcc, then
please submit the changes you had to make to compile Octave with the
other compiler.  :-)

Running what?  I'd expect it to work fine if you are using Linux or
DU^H^HTru64 Unix, but you'll have more work to do if you're planning
to use VMS.

I don't know of any free software for this task.
