Can main() be changed to a different identifier tailored for a specific program? If so then how

main() -> main_entry()

I don't think so, it's irreplaceable, without it the program won't compile

What's wrong the following? int main() { return main_entry(); } Many objected oriented programs have main functions that look like: int main() { Application application; return application.run(); } As for your question, there's probably a hacky way to do it in GCC, but there's no standard way to do it and it's not a good idea.

No but main() can be used as just a wrapper for main_entry() or whatever other primary function name that you like.

It's just that I once came across such on quara but never saw the actual code to do that so I'm on the fence with this one
