Fine, but this is comp.lang.ada, not comp.lang.c, so we are
interested in interfacing from C++ to Ada (C is not in
necessarily in sight unless we drag it in).

And the answer is no, it is not necessary to use extern C in
interfacing between Ada 95 and C++ if your implementation (like
GNAT) supports interfacing directly to C++.

See the example of this interfacing that comes with the GNAT
distribution.
