Question

I’m using VS2010
I have a project with several headers and one file with the main() function.
For testing purposes I’d like to be able to easily another main() function that would instanciate different things than my original main.
Is there an easy way to define 2 “main” function, and easily switch between them?
The best would be to compile 2 binaries, one that starts at main1() and the other at main2(), or it can be a solution that requires to recompile some files, it doesn’t matter

Answer 1

In linker options you have entry point name. This way you can have main1() and main2():
