Follow up PRs will either replace the undefined behavior with well defined behavior or suppress errors which are intentional. The goal is to make OpenJDK more well defined and thus more portable across compilers and architectures.

I like this approach better in principle. Not sure about the location of the file - the build folk will no doubt have more to say on that. Can we not just have a single file and use:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

?
Thanks.
