The vendored mimalloc headers are designed to be used in a C++ context if imported from C++. Therefore, we should switch the context back to C++ when using a C++ compiler here. This seems like the most future-proof fix, because otherwise we would need to be careful what context we import pycore_mimalloc.h from.

Nice workaround.

I tried modifying the 123 header files in Include/internal/ to move #include outside extern "C" { ... }. It's a lot of work, it will be hard to maintain in the future, I don't think that it's worth it.

What's the status here? This would also resolve one of the remaining issues with making mypyc compatible with 3.13. Would be great if it could be included in 3.13.0rc2. #121489 (comment)
