The way to do it is:

#extern "C" {

}

But there is/was also an option to generate prototypes somewhere in
gcc or some attached bit, As with yourself, I haven't used it in the
last 5 years, but remember using such a tool somewhere.


I think the macros will be fun though, particularly those that are
pointers to functions, - not impossible - but interesting and it may
be that something like this will need to be used there.

I'd agree.
