The problem is using extern "C" does _NOT_ make 100% correct code
either. It could be safer to do that. But could be safer is different
than correct/incorrect statements showed here. I could be wrong but
please provide reference in C++ standard wich says how extern "C"
linkage affect calling conventions then.
   Getting ignorance when providing different point of view than common
is this group is very nice "feature". But common and/or most people
opinion is not always correct.
