get main return value

[Guest_imported]

How can I get the main return value, for example

const char* main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
....
return "Hello";
}

I don't thing you need the * efter char

const char main(int argc, argv[])
{
...
return "hallo"
}

Hope it help you

You wouldn't want to return a char* from main() - it would most likely be an invalid pointer in any case (as the process would have died, freeing up allocated resources). If you want to see the return from main, run it from a batch file that echos its output to screen.

The standard says you can only return int. In DOS, the return value is stored in ERRORLEVEL.

If you want to return anything besides an int, you can printf or cout to stdout.

Let me know what do you really want to do.
