Of the top of my head, can't think of a way in C, but in C++ you can simply use some form of static initialiser. Be warned though, that they can cause problems if not handled correctly. I'd recommend asking yourself if you really need to do this? Kev

1. Get yourself a sledge hammer 2. Take a deep breath 3. Swing the hammer back and give the program (The display, where it is being shown) a merciless blow. 4. The program should have crashed by now. :D This is a code sample #include using namespace std; class GoGoGo { public: GoGoGo() { cout << "This runs first!"; //put ur code to crash the program here.. } BeFirst; } int main() { cout << "Main is second :("; return 0; } Google for interview questions and u will find a lot of stuff. I learned this from google some months back. Regards, Rajesh R. Subramanian You have an apple and me too. We exchange those and We have an apple each. You have an idea and me too.

Pls elaborate "Static initialiser ". Small code can be of help. Vikas Amin Embin Technology Bombay

You need to declare an instance of class GoGoGo before this will work - i.e.: GoGoGo executesBeforeMain; Kev

int CrashingFunc(); static int SomeIntThatCrashesTheProg = CrashingFunc(); int CrashingFunc() { // Put crashing code here } The static variables will be evaluated first and this will call your CrashingFunc before the main()

is it neccesary to put static . static int SomeIntThatCrashesTheProg = CrashingFunc(); int CrashingFunc() I feel int SomeIntThatCrashesTheProg has to be Global which u have defined with static never say die -- modified at 9:27 Wednesday 11th January, 2006

[sunit5]

It has to be class GoGoGo { public: GoGoGo() { cout << "This runs first!"; //put ur code to crash the program here.. } }BeFirst; never say die

Why do you want to do so? Can you tell the usability? Vipin - MVP

Actually i dont want to crash the program but i am studying the reason by which the programs can crash before the main function is exectuted Vikas Amin Embin Technology Bombay

[vikas amin]

yeh globals if they are initalised then they can crash the prog . :-O Vikas Amin Embin Technology Bombay

If so, you will do a never ending study. Atleast after you start with windows programming. (If you ever finish studying this with C and C++) :D Why do this dude? Destructive mind huh?
