Bug#499683: libavcodec-dev: libavcodec.h does not contain C++ detection

[Jon Thackray]

Package: libavcodec-dev
Version: 0.svn20080206-12
Severity: important


When including avcodec.h in C++ source (and also avutils.h and 
swscale.h), the compiler mangles the names. This then causes link 
failures because the corresponding libraries have unmangled names. The 
code that is missing is

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

at the start of the file (just after the multiple inclusion guard) and 
the corresponding

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

at the end of the file.
