Talk:Entry point

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have moved this page from it Entry point/new as requested. It includes material originally added to the page now at Talk:Entry point/old. A history merge seems impractical, so I have left that page in that location. JPD (talk) 15:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

This page says that the entry point to a C program is main(), and phrases this as though this is the only possibility. Last I heard, the default entry point for most C compilers is __start(), and it's always customizable with a linker option. main() is usually called from within __start(), I believe.
