Re: [PLUGINS] Add 'extern "C"' wrappers to several header files

Hi Gabriel,

  (2) identify a well-defined interface to your plugin, e.g. the entry points
       and declare them with the C calling convention; and code the internals
       of your plugin in C++


the problem isn't the entry points into the plugin, the problem is the
entry points into gcc.  The plugin is converting gimple to LLVM IR, and
as such it accesses many many gcc routines.  While I could write my own
headers redeclaring all the gcc stuff with the C calling convention, I'd
rather not because it would be a lot of work and fragile.

Ciao,

Duncan.
