Re: gnome-defs

Hello,

I understand it like this:

Including these macros the C++ compiler adds 'extern C' to the function 
headers. If we run a C compiler it does nothing. This way C++ functions 
can be accessed from C code. If they are already C functions, then it 
does nothing.

Allows access to C++ functions from C.
