Compatibility EV3 - NXT via BCC

Thinking of buying an EV3, but have been developing only one program for my project.

I started on NXT-G before moving over to NXC and I have just about finished, it has taken a long time for various reasons.

If I get an EV3, will I be able to load my NXC program into the EV3 version of BCC and have it converted?

As far as C syntax is concerned: I'm quite sure that you won't have to convert anything in your NXC programs - as far as they comply to real ANSI C standard (C99...C11).
Incompatible Not-eXactly-C code surely will have to be converted into real C.
The same - I think - will be roughly about API functions, but I even hope that some of them will be upgraded to a more convenient and a more logical syntax like I already have written in my wishlist

E.g., in (only) very few cases - like absolute motor control - even RobotC API functions are more logical and convient than NXC functions.

Well, bit the bullet and bought the EV3, just hope the program works.
