No problem. :)
And in answer to your question:
Not when it's something simple like that, no... :) The curly braces will
"wrap" a function or an include, and in this case, it wraps the entire
included file within the extern "C" stuff... You could do something similar
to the following to wrap more than one:
extern "C"
{
#include <firstinclude.h>
#include <secondinclude.h>
}
And it would work on both... However, since it's only one include that
you're wrapping, the single-quote wrapping is fine. :)
And what is extern "C"? C++ usually "mangles" function names in the symbol
table, since you can "overload" a function... By using extern "C", it won't
mangle the names in the symbol table... Useful if you're using BFD (Binary
File Descriptors).
