C functions need to be included within extern "C" { } to avoid the compiler mangling the names.
__cplusplus is always defined by C++ compilers.

C++ compilers require that C functions are declared inside an extern "C" { } scope. This stops the compiler mangling the names, which would cause link errors. This pull request adds those into the header file, conditionally if __cplusplus is defined. All C++ compilers do define this symbol when they are compiling C++.
