c++ calling main() function
i just finished a project for a c++ class that i wrote at home on my computer, compiled with gcc. when i brought the code into school it would not compile, it would complain that cannot call main() function. at school we use ancient borland c++ from 1995. anyway my program has 20 different functions, and each one hasa menu to start the program over, some with switch structure, and others with else if, everyone calls the main function when it is started over, so my question is, which is right? in c++ should you be able to call the main function from other functions? or is this a lax in conformity with gcc?

---

i simply created a new function identical to main() and called that when i need to start over.

sdl-config

sdl-config(1)						      General Commands Manual						     sdl-config(1)

NAME

       sdl-config - script to get information about the installed version of SDL

SYNOPSIS

       sdl-config [ --prefix[=DIR] ] [ --exec-prefix[=DIR] ] [ --version ] [ --cflags ] [ --libs ] [ --static-libs ]

DESCRIPTION

       sdl-config  is  a  tool	that is used to configure and determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link pro-
       grams, and libraries, and plugins that use SDL.	It is also used internally by the m4 macros that are included with SDL.

OPTIONS

       --cflags
	      Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program or library that uses SDL.

       --exec-prefix=DIR
	      If specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that SDL was build with when computing the output for the  --exec-pre-
	      fix option. This option must be specified before any of the --cflags, and --libs options.

       --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program that uses SDL.

       --prefix=DIR
	      If  specified,  use  DIR	instead of the installation prefix that SDL was built with when computing the output for the --prefix, and
	      --exec-prefix options.  This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be  speci-
	      fied before any of the --cflags, and --libs options.

       --static-libs
	      Print the linker flags that are necessary to statically link a program that uses SDL.

       --version
	      Prints the currently installed version of SDL on standard output.

EXAMPLES

       gcc -o main.o $(sdl-config --cflags) main.c
	      is how you might use sdl-config to compile a C source file for an executable program.

       gcc -o my_app $(sdl-config --libs) main.o util.o
	      is how you might use sdl-config to link compiled objects into an executable program.
