Hello,
    I have written a C code parser. I have to parse a test code, whose
files are with .cpp extension, but the code is in C (it is basically a
windows application).
    I'm using gcc to preprocess the input and then parsing the
preprocessed code. Now the problem is , i have syntax error since, the
preprocessed code has something like

extern "C"
{

/* some code */

}


My parser cannot parse the above code. Now i cannot change extension to
.c since the code uses some header files for which _cplusplus has to be
defined.

First, i want to know what does this extern "C" means?
Is there any way by which i can prevent this in the preprocessed file?
If that is not possible, what are different ways in which this may
appear in preprocessed code?
(e.g. is saw some declaration like  extern "C" int something; )

Thanx in advance,

Regards Sunil
