prototypeless function representation

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi,
I don't think jextract should paper over what seem like bugs in header 
files (even if common ones) ?

I think a possible workaround for dealing with such libraries is to pass 
clang the `-x c++` flag. This can be done as described here:

https://github.com/openjdk/jextract/blob/master/doc/GUIDE.md#additional-clang-options

Cheers
Maurizio
