Re^9: Plz suggest what is the problem in the following code?

I said ... by convention/cargo-cult/angry-monkey I would never write a C shared library that redefined main ... because unlike C++ or Java, the *possiblity* of symbol clashing is too great.

And as I pointed out, the possibility of symbol clashing is no greater with the name "main" than it is with 'start' or 'new' or any other name.

So, regardless of whether you would or wouldn't do it--that's your choice--the reasoning for not doing it is bogus! Being proud of cargo-cult doesn't make it more legitimate.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

"Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."

Proud? Where did you get that from? Nothing could be farther from the truth. Obviously you've mistaken what I've written (or more than likely I did a poor job of writing) to construe that I would continue the practice. -derby	[reply]
