This is the most "minimal" legal C program. It is not obvious but main is in fact a function, not the real beginning of the compiled code. When you link a C program the linker adds (something like) two functions: _start() and _end() The actual names are implementation dependent. _start() sets up a lot of memory objects and files like stdout and stdin _end() cleans up after _start()
If main is not fully declared you get undefined behavior. Undefined behavior is just that - the program may dump core, panic the kernel, format your disk, or send family pictures to the Mars explorer.

Hi,
I have a main loop which calls a sub loop, which finally returns to the main loop itself. The main loop runs when a flag is set. Now, I have a signal handler for SIGINT, which resets the flag and thus stops the main loop. Suppose I send SIGINT while the program is in subloop, I get an error... (1 Reply)

Hi friends,
when I am passing arguments to main, I want another function to be able to have access to that function, the problem is that I am creating athread, which has a function like void *xyz(void *), how can pass the refernce of argv to this function, if you see my program, you will better... (2 Replies)
H friends,
As we know, a function returns a value and that value is saved somwhere. like
int Sum( int x, int y )
{
return x + y;
}
Total = Sum( 10, 20 );
The value 30 is saved in variable Total.
Now the question is, what int value does the function main return, and where is it... (5 Replies)

I feel that i am missing something obvious but i can't find what is wrong.
I have a script that is launching some functions with "&" and each call is feeding the array with a value. When all calls are finished I just want to retrieve the values of that array.
It is looking like that :

EXECUTE(7) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation EXECUTE(7)NAME
EXECUTE - execute a prepared statement
SYNOPSIS
EXECUTE name [ ( parameter [, ...] ) ]
DESCRIPTION
EXECUTE is used to execute a previously prepared statement. Since prepared statements only exist for the duration of a session, the
prepared statement must have been created by a PREPARE statement executed earlier in the current session.
If the PREPARE statement that created the statement specified some parameters, a compatible set of parameters must be passed to the EXECUTE
statement, or else an error is raised. Note that (unlike functions) prepared statements are not overloaded based on the type or number of
their parameters; the name of a prepared statement must be unique within a database session.
For more information on the creation and usage of prepared statements, see PREPARE(7).
PARAMETERS
name
The name of the prepared statement to execute.
parameter
The actual value of a parameter to the prepared statement. This must be an expression yielding a value that is compatible with the data
type of this parameter, as was determined when the prepared statement was created.
OUTPUTS
The command tag returned by EXECUTE is that of the prepared statement, and not EXECUTE.
EXAMPLES
Examples are given in the EXAMPLES section of the PREPARE(7) documentation.
COMPATIBILITY
The SQL standard includes an EXECUTE statement, but it is only for use in embedded SQL. This version of the EXECUTE statement also uses a
somewhat different syntax.
