I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to be harsh. I was just saying that I
haven't noticed a lot of C projects including C++ headers.

Clearly I am not such a great programmer, since I am not familiar with
those dozen projects. I am willing to be enlightened.

It turns out that XCB is one of the projects that does support C++;
did you see the message elsethread that latest libXCB already includes
extern "C"?

I'm sorry you feel that way.
