I have the following in my .vimrc to indent the whole file:
nnoremap cu gg=G``
I have a problem using this in source files that have
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif
// code
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
This makes vim shift all the functions one tab to the right. This makes it inconsistent with my colleagues who don't use vim and it also annoys me. Is there a way to tell vim to ignore these brakets of extern "C"?
setlocal cinoptions=E-s
See :h cinoptions-values.
Also make sure that :h 'equalprg' is set to empty, so the internal Vim formatter is used. If not, see man pages of an external formatter tool whatever it is.
.vimrc, as well as set equalprg="" but when I press c-u, it still considers the extern C brakets. Do I miss anything?

set (not setlocal) to change the default setting. Make sure you've read and understood :h options.txt
set equalprg= (which is Vim's default anyway). The double-quote stands for a comment mark, so it doesn't hurt (unless it's followed by another option), but it looks strange, to say the least.
set instead of setlocal and add set equalprg= so that it becomes complete and clear for future viewer. Thanks
