This sounds like you want to mix C++ and C Code. If you only want to rename test() to be able to call test from a C-Modul then you can put the declaration of test() into an extern "C" block. Then the C++ compiler knows that he have to use the C-naming convention.

extern "C"
{
  int test();
}

int test()
{
  //do something
  return 0;
}

Using code above test() internal will be named to _test.
