Yes, it's a semi-intelligent cpp, written in Objective-C++ no less.

Heh, I spent a good chunk of last year making it parse C++; learned
a little more about the fine points of C++ syntax than I really
wanted to know. :-) You'll see the result of that work for the
first time in OS X GM - although it's not enabled by default, use
cc -cpp-precomp to get it.
In any case, by "adequate" I just mean the way the precomp system fits
into large-scale builds. Although Apple's precomp setup is not the
ideal, without it OS X would be shipping months from now, not at the
end of the week. As Geoff noted, it's one thing to have a first working
version, and another to have passed many millions of lines of code
through it.
