That used to be the case back when Bjarne Stroustrup was still in
charge and the canonical C++ compiler was AT&T's »cfront«, which
compiled C++ to C.
For the last fifteen years or so at least, most C++ compilers have been
emitting assembly code directly, just the way C compilers do. G++,
for example, started out as an alternative front-end to the GCC
code-generating back-end, not as a C++-to-C compiler.
