C and C++ in same header file?

[vanillajonathan]

In other C files I've seen things like:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

void hello_world(char *greeting);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

Example: https://github.com/xiallc/PixieSDK/blob/master/sdk/include/pixie16/pixie16.h

Maybe cbindgen could do that?

I believe the cpp_compat flag does what you're suggesting?

[vanillajonathan]

My bad. Yes it does!

Hmm, why isn't this enabled by default? And why isn't this mentioned in the template.toml file?

It's in docs.md tho... But yeah would take a patch to mention in template.toml. As for defaults, mostly historical I believe.

Would it be feasible to change the defaults to enable cpp_compat?
