Hi Yamin,
The consequences of declaring a function as extern "C" are...
1) the name will be mangled according to your platform's C mangling convention*. 2) I recall (and I may be mistaken) that such a function acts as a "C barrier", and thus exceptions do not propagate through such a function.
you are mistaken. when compiled by a C++ compiler, you'll get all the C++ exception semantics. When compiled by a C compiler, you might or might not get unwind info emitted (with gcc -fexceptions, you will IIRC).
