Use extern "C" instead of __BEGIN_DECL/__END_DECL macros
these macros are defined in sys/cdefs.h for glibc and this header is not available on all libc

anyway they defined like below

#ifdef __cplusplus
# define __BEGIN_DECLS extern "C" {
# define __END_DECLS }
#else
# define __BEGIN_DECLS /* empty */
# define __END_DECLS /* empty */
#endif

__THROW macro is also not available on musl, defined thusly
