First off, your syntax:
int i = extern return0();
is very bizzare and I'm not even sure if it's legal.

Your major problem here is that the compiler mangles names in a C++ file,
which causes unmangled names not to match. You need to do something like this:

extern "C" int return0(void);

/* ... */

        i = return0();

Hope this helps.
