IntelliSense:expected a declaration in C++

Question

I am trying add C and C++ code together, but end up with getting above error as IntelliSense:expected a declaration.

e.g abc.cpp

#include "abc.h"
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif
#include "C_headerfiles.h"
...
...//Body of C code
#ifdef _cplusplus
}
#endif
...
...//Body of C plus plus code

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"       //`IntelliSense:expected a declaration
{
#endif
...
...//Body of C code
#ifdef _cplusplus
}
#endif

You are aware that Intellisense errors are just hints? Did you try to just build? — Bartek Banachewicz, Jan 04 '13 at 12:56

I have solved this problem: Need to add the extern C only once not again and again.

#include "abc.h"
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif
#include "C_headerfiles.h"
...
...//Body of C code

...
...//Body of C plus plus code


...
...//Body of C code
#ifdef _cplusplus
}
#endif
