yes.
you only need the 'extern "C" {}' clause to prevent name-mangling.
the (unmangled) name is only important for Pd to find the setup function
(the setup-function must be a well-known name that can be calculated
from the library name).

so in order for Pd to bootstrap your library, you must make sure to
prohibit name-mangling by protecting the entry-points with 'extern "C"'.
as Pd doesn't need to resolve the name of the rest, you don't have to
protect it.
