In any application, there can be only one main function. In c++, main is not a member of any class. There is no chance of overriding.

HiSee the following c++ program segment. I have written main as the member of "abc" class.. Is this not overriding of main() ??? Pls clarify me on this........#include "stdio.h"#include "stdlib.h"#include "iostream"using namespace std;class abc{ public : int main() { cout<<" Its main function of Claass member"<

Hi,

In one *.cpp file we can declare only one main() ie we cant' write more than 1 main functions in one program file. it will give an error.As main() [from which the program execution begins] is not a member function of any class..so there is no question of overloading or overriding of the function.

Yes, but in any userdefined class we can declare main() as a class member function and also can overload or override that member function.

main (as a method of some class) CAN be OVERRIDEN, it can't be OVERLOADED though.Overriding means providing in a subclass a different implementation of a method defined in it's superclass.You probably ment overloading which is providing different implementations for a function, based on it's argument list .Anyways, you can't overload entry point main cause the linker won't like this and you'll have a name conflict ( declaration of C function `int main(...)' conflicts with previous declaration int main(...)"

I believe that you may be able to override main (I haven't actually tried though..). I don't see why you'd get any linker errors if you re-def the entry point as a linker switch...Thoughts?Anybody have time to try? =D
