>Description:
The devinfo(3) interface is defined in a header which is not C++ safe, and
will not work properly in a C++ program.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile the following.  It won't link, because it assumes the
devinfo symbols should be mangled C++ symbols.

test.cpp:

#include <devinfo.h>

int main()
{
	devinfo_init();
	return 0;
}      

>Fix:
devinfo.h needs __BEGIN_DECLS and >__END_DECLS.
