Description Sylvain Chevalier 2018-03-13 16:12:37 UTC 
The GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_DECLARE macro must be wrapped inside an extern "C" block when building in C++ as it resolved in a function declaration whose implementation is in C.

As this is not obvious (at least it was not obvious to me), should it be documented, or maybe better yet, improved in the macro itself?
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2018-03-13 21:03:40 UTC 
Is it valid to have nested extern "C" blocks, i.e.

> extern "C" {
>   extern "C" {
>     ...
>   }
> }

This could happen if the macro conditionally adds the blocks.
