I ran into an issue when referring to ucosmcfc.h, getting C++ linkage errors when referring to it from C files. ucosmcfc.c is used by both C and C++ files and the variable critical_count is defined as an extern, without any previous extern "C" definition. The system files build ok, but referring to ucosmcfc from any new C file in the project will fail.

I suggest changing ucosmcfc.h in future releases so that

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif

is placed at the begining of the file.

There is already an extern "c" in this header but for some reason this variable was not in the scope. I fixed this for the release, thanks for pointing it out.

Just out of curiosity, why not name all the files you create as .cpp instead of .c? That way you can always use any C++ calls without problems. If you don't want to use C++, just code in straight C, but still name the file .cpp to take advantage of additional type checking.

I'm doing a lot of work with a pre-existing codebase that is also used for non-netburner systems. So, I do use cpp extensions where I can with new files, but it's not always possible.
