Message-ID: <6082@columbia.edu> Date: 9 Dec 88 15:17:01 GMT Sender: news@columbia.edu Reply-To: beshers@pipe.UUCP () Organization: Columbia University Department of Computer Science Lines: 11 Is it possible to reference argc and argv in a global constructor? Since the constructors are called before main and argc and argv are local to that routine, it would seem to be impossible. Perhaps they should be passed to _main() as well? This isn't really a burning issue, of course, but it's puzzling. Clifford Beshers Columbia University Computer Science Department beshers@sylvester.cs.columbia.edu
