Can you change the name of main function in C programming please explain me?

Answer 1

It depends on linker. Microsoft's linker has option /ENTRY which allows to set name of an entry point function.

c:\>type 1.cpp

1. include

int my_main(int argc, char* argv[]) { printf("my_main\n"); return 0; }

c:\>cl 1.cpp /MD /link /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /ENTRY:my_main Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.50727.42 for 80x86 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

1.cpp Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 8.00.50727.42 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

/out:1.exe /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /ENTRY:my_main 1.obj

c:\>1 my_main

c:\>

With any text-editor, but be warned: if you don't have a function by name main, your program won't build (right, if in Windows, then it is WinMain).

Answer 2

keep #define ram() main() in one header file and ask to import that file where ever

u want to rename main as ram().it works.
