extern "C" is used to change symbol name of C++ function in order to use them from a C program.

In C++, function prototype is "coded" in symbol name, this is a requirement for overloading. But in C, you don't have a such feature.

extern "C" allow to call C++ function from a C program.

extern "C" is not what you are looking for.
