only when "academic interest" is the code that are not your production :-)
And if I apply that same definition to my of view, then your codes 
immediately become of academic interest.

(The 'extern "C"' is meant to let exception propagate correctly through
C codes and return back to C++ handlers (if nay).  That has always
been part of the linkage specification facility).

Yup.  The above assumption would be a distraction.
