I appreciate the time and effort you've put into improving the documentation. Unfortunately, this change isn't appropriate here. It's true that you can declare an extern "C" variable in a header file, but you can't include that header in a C source file, since C doesn't know what extern "C" means. Similarly, you don't want to define an extern "C" variable in a header file (that is, initialize it), because that can lead to multiple definitions that will make the linker throw an error. The example in this article really is meant to be used in a C++ source file (the sort with a .cpp extension). So, I'm sorry your effort isn't being rewarded, but this PR shouldn't be merged.

my bad, re-read the stuff, i thought i had read 2 times, "C++", thanks all good
