All functions are implicitly extern, yes, but there's sometimes more to be said.

Code:
// To use a C function from C++ you must warn the linker to expect 
// the symbol _functionname, not a C++ hashed overload like @kldsgjlakgjadls
extern "C" int functionname(int);

Also different linking specifications for different kinds of libraries, i.e. so's and dll's vs statically linked things. Sometimes the linker can handle that for you, but it's often more efficient, at least, to warn it in advance that it will be calling external library code.
