/ENTRY (Windows CE 5.0)
The Entry-Point Symbol option sets the starting address for an .exe file or DLL.
Type a function name in the Entry-Point Symbol text box (or in the function argument on the command line).
You must define the function with the __cdecl calling convention.
The parameters and return value must be defined as documented for WinMain (for an .exe file) or DllMain (for a DLL).
By default, the starting address is a function name from the C run-time library. The linker selects it according to the attributes of the program, as shown in the following table.
| Function name | Default for |
|---|---|
| WinMainCRTStartup | An application using /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWSCE; calls WinMain, which must be defined with __cdecl. |
| wWinMainCRTStartup | An application using /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWSCE; calls wWinMain, which must be defined with __cdecl. |
| _DllMainCRTStartup | A DLL; calls DllMain, which must be defined with __cdecl, if it exists. |
If the /DLL or /SUBSYSTEM option is not specified, the linker selects a subsystem and entry point depending on whether main or WinMain is defined.
The functions main, WinMain, and DllMain are the three forms of the user-defined entry point.
