ASML C Coding Standard

Rule: 6.10.1.d

This rule is Obsolete
Synopsis:	C headers should be guarded by extern "C".
Language:	C
Severity Level:	6
Category:	Preprocessing Directives

Description:

Justification

Every C header file should be usable by C++ code. To make sure the C++ compiler won't complain about C constructs the C code should be guarded with extern "C".

Example

The following guard should be used in C header files:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

...

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
