VA's inserting pair brackets function has a flaw of adding a semicolon at the end of extern "C" specification, making it: extern "C" {}; instead of common: extern "C" {}. Hope this can be improved.

Have you considered setting up a VA Snippet for this? Something like shortcut "ext" and inserting the line:

extern "C" {}

Quick and simple, and something you can do without waiting for a code change in VA.

I'm doing so. If this can be improved later then that's better. Thanks.

VA does check in other places if the semi-colon is needed or not, so I have put in a feature request for this:
