When you declare the function, wrap it in an extern "C":
extern "C" { extern void the_c_function() ; }

Wrap the header file:
extern "C" { #include "api.h" }Or just duplicate the declarations you want. If you're writing a C library, it's good form to put the extern "C" *inside* the header file but not every one does it.
