Talk:c/language/main function

[edit] First Sentence

I think I finally understand freestanding and hosted execution environments. Let's see. Is the first sentence correct? Is it really true that "every C program contains ... main"? I read on StackOverflow that C programs written for freestanding execution environments have an entry which is specified in the documentation of an embedded device, such as a microcontroller, a point expressed in so many words later in this essay.

this page also says "The name and type of the entry point to any freestanding program (boot loaders, OS kernels, etc) are implementation-defined". So yes, the first sentence could use the word "hosted". --Cubbi (talk)
