<pre>(maybe someone else will chime in that this is a reasonable extension, but
until then...)
"extern "C"" doesn't actually change the language, just the linkage/mangling of
externally visible entities, so this behavior is 'by design' - the code is
still C++ code & that conversion is still invalid.
GCC does support this under -fpermissive, but Clang doesn't seem to have any
support for this flag at all. Arguably it could be added for compatibility.</pre>
