If you've got access to GNU g++ I assume you can also get easy access
to Bison and FLEX (Bison being GNU's yacc-compatible parser-generator
and FLEX being Vern Paxson et al's lex rewrite).  Both bison and FLEX
generate C code that is compilable with g++.  I've used g++/Bison/FLEX
for several classes I've taught here at UCI and things have gone
smoothly, for the most part.
