title: C functions before mainCRTStartup on Mingw?
body: <pre><code>void start() {
  stuff(); //code before mainCRTStartup
  mainCRTStartup();
  }
  int main()
  {
  //other code
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In Visual C++,it compiles fine and function "stuff()" gets called before main. How would call "stuff()" before "mainCRTStartup()"? on Mingw(OS:Windows NT)? it seems to ignore "void start()".</p>
