Continuing with your off-topic statement, for which there is no excuse.
Idiomatic C Code is "usable with both C and C++." C++ has defined methods for linking C code written without regard to C++ arcane requirements, so there is never a reason to pervert the normal C idiom to "be usable with both C and C++." I thought we lost the trolls that kept beating this horse.
