and it can be that in C or C++? Declaring 'extern int _mangled_main()' in

However, in C++ the symbol will be different depending on the parameters, and
will be incompatible with C-style symbols. So, the _mangled_main symbol will
be missing in C++.

There is way, but I don't know how "standard" it is. Both MSVC 6 and
MinGW use C style name mangling for main in both C and C++. So I can
put extern main() in wmain.c and it will work correctly. Need to do
some research on this.
