Calling g++ is just the same as calling gcc, except for the libraries it automatically searches. Given the right command line switches, g++ acts just like gcc, and gcc acts just like g++. If you intend simply to recompile T.rex, then g++ will cause some headaches getting the switches right, and in the end won't result in any improvement. If you intend to add c++ code to T.rex, then it would be reasonable (IMHO) to rename all your .c files .cpp, start using g++, fix what are hopefully only a few errors, and then start adding the new c++ code.
