The code below doesn’t work.

#include<iostream>
class Application
{
public:
    static int main(int argc, char** argv)
    {
        std::cin.get();
    }
};

I thought that static member functions are just the same as normal functions, and static WinMain works fine. Why doesn’t static main work?

well, I think i somewhat got begin to understand, thank you for all the answers.

    Simply because the standard says so (3.6.1):

    A program shall contain a global function called main. […] The function shall not be overloaded.

    What you have is a valid function, but it’s not the program entry point.
