Is there already a hexpat to c/cpp compiler? Would be nice so that any pattern/parser can be integrated into existing projects natively

I don't see how it would be possible to write such a thing. Pattern language is dynamic by nature and allows constructs like

struct A {
   u8 a;
   if (a>127)
       u8 b;
  else
     u16 b;
};

that just cannot be turned into c++ easily. More complex constructs make what you suggest impossible imo
