   Does 263 flex and/or bison generate C++ code.

No and yes.  The code is C; why bother with C++ when the point is to
generate efficient, formally correct code that is easier to intervene
in than assembly?  You could ask that the code be wrapped in a C++
class, I suppose.  On the other hand, it will compile under C++.  At
least the few small examples I have tried do.

As I recall, you don't even have to deal with the linkage issue (Bison
and Flex both come with libraries); the headers are already properly
"wrapped" with linkage directives.
