The commit does sound a bit off, admittedly I don't fully grok what
you're trying to say.
The extern "C" { } construct annotates anything within as if it were a
normal C code. Thus functions will have the C linkage (otherwise
they'll have the C++ mangling) and structs are using the C rules.
So if you have a C++ header further down the chain it will be
considered as C and hell will break loose.
This patch is correct, just sent a fix for glapitable.h, while glapi.h
was handled with d38839a498b38b745f5bdf6b96fbafa2792670be.
As-is "struct _glapi_table" will be interpret as C++ one, which may
not have the same guarantees about sizeof and pointer arithmetic that
we're using in the test.
Hope the above provides some inspiration towards a better commit message.
Thanks
Emil
