That's not correct -- it's implementation dependant. The following
types are *not* equivalent, and cannot be casted safely from each other:

extern "C" {typedef void (*foo)(); }
typedef void (*foo)();

Hence, you *must not* use static methods where extern "C" funtion pointers
are expected. What you should do is wrap the functionaliy in extern "C"
functions which call into C++.
