Hint:

- Add the semicolons back to any line that doesn't start with '#' and doesn't end with ':'

- Replace all the ':' with '{'.

- Fill in all of the '}' where they belong, which is probably easier to do by hand on such a short script than to write any logic to do it for you.

Once you've restored it to valid C++, you should be set.

Why don't you just use Python?

Python's footprint is a bit large for embedded systems.

hmm, good point.
