I would be very interested in knowing what features Bison++
offers that Bison does not.  Yes, you are right, Bison generated
C files first, and C++ was added later.  Yet, the C++ skeletons
were designed, they are not just C code put into a C++ class.

If you saw shortcomings in Bison’s C++ output, please let us
know, and we’ll see what we can do.

Cheers,
