#pragmas may cause a C++ compiler to behave in an
implementation-defined manner, so the easiest way to fix this bug is
to document it :-)

Since any preprocessor tokens are valid in a pragma directive, this
should be accepted and ignored.  However, this is not good practice,
since other compilers might define this pragma as meaning something
obscure.

How about:

extern "C" {
#if 0
}
#endif
// whatever
#if 0
{
#endif
}
