There's non-LLM research towards doing this which has a few success stories: https://github.com/immunant/c2rust https://github.com/immunant/c2rust LLMs seem generally unsuited for the task, because they're fundamentally approximators that won't always get things right, and as a result will introduce subtle bugs. Perhaps if you paired them with some sort of formal methods... I'm not aware of anyone doing that. Tests aren't sufficient - lots of subtle bugs will not be caught by existing test suites.
