Not necessarily. __main() is used only on systems without support for constructors and destructors. This is described in the manual: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Initialization.html http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Macros-for-Initialization.html If your target defines the INIT_SECTION_ASM_OP macro, then __main() isn't normally used. -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen
