Declare the functions of C using extern "C" as follows:

extern "C"
{
   // all prototypes here
};

You may have to declare C++ functions as extern C as well if you have such
problems the other way around. Though I doubt this affects most C++ additions,
you cannot use function overloads, as extern "C" essentially removes this
feature in exchange for C support.
Also beware that the C compiler probably won't like "extern "C"", which is why
it's always #ifdef'd in header files.
