GCC seems to think that code is syntactically correct.Allegro already uses "#define main _mangled_main". Not that I think that's a good thing, though. Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud.
Because of the strict prototyping in C++, we'd have to require the userto always define main to take two args.Urgh. No.Not so for C. At least END_OF_MAIN would be gone.Not worth it at that price if it were true, but not in fact true: that isn't enough for OS X.
I don't know exactly what's required, but do_allegro_stuff() could run the user's main in a secondary thread if it wanted to. I'll leave that to someone who knows OS X.
