I am not Nico, but:
extern "C" <decl>;
or
extern "C" {
<decl>
};
Tells the compiler that the functions/variables/types declared are supposed
to follow "C" linkage conventions (they are meant to be used from "C" or
compiled using a "C" compiler). For functions this means that their names
don't get mangled, etc.
I hope this helps,
