I think it should be enough if you add the G_BEGIN_DECLS/G_END_DECLS macros 
here. QEMU is a C project, and it was quite difficult to get rid of the C++ 
code again, so please don't soften the check in meson.build and don't 
introduce new .cc files.
If you have some code somewhere that uses C++ for plugins, I think it would 
be better to add a regression test there instead.
