Summary0002507: Frama-C reports “invalid ghost in extern linkage specification” while loading files
DescriptionAs I try to load my project files Frama-C reports the following error in the Console window and stops processing

I traced the issue to the case of the file extension. It seems that if the file extension is .C the file is interpreted as C++ (maybe) and including stdlib.h causes the fault. I haven't checked if other librareris cause an issue. If the extension is .c then the file is interpreted as plain C and the file loads normally.

This indeed due to the fact that the `.C` is seen as a C++ file. Note that for C++, an experimental Front-end is available: Frama-Clang.
