The wrapper function must be in extern "C" {} since you want to give it a
C name (and not a mangled C++ one). These days, the headers probably do
not need to be, but in theory if they are C headers they should be in any
C++ code.
I think R-exts is quite clear on this:
To use with @R{}, the only thing we have to do is writing a wrapper
function and ensuring that the function is enclosed in
