Hello,
Taking the opportunity to use a newer snapshot of L4Re, I notice that EXTERN_C_BEGIN and EXTERN_C_END now cause errors like this:
error: unknown type name ‘DO_NOT_USE_EXTERN_C_END_ANY_MORE__USE__END_DECLS’
The commit introducing this behaviour seems to be this one:

It would appear that throughout L4Re, a mass renaming has occurred from these symbols to __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS. Was there a particular reason for
EXTERN_C_BEGIN/EXTERN_C_END were self-made defines and we changed that to the more commonly used __BEGIN_DECLS/__END_DECLS (as seen in cdefs.h).
