First, the C feature will remain of course.

But have you tried the C++ extern "C" feature?

This is the naive approach, because it odes not work with C++ classes that
has non-trivial contructors (see how the Bison parser implements its
dynamic stack).

wants to spend too much effort on a compile C as C++ parser.
