Custom C startup code (mainCRTStartup) implementation for GCC/MinGW.
Nocrt0 is a custom C startup code without any dependencies of the standard C runtime libraries. It is intended for building very small executable files under OS Windows(R). Nocrt0 was successfully tested with GCC/MinGW and Pelles C.
There are two modules: nocrt0w for GUI applications, and nocrt0c for console
applications. Simply add the correct file into your project and build it without linking
to the default C startup code (hint: for GCC you will need -nostartfiles or -nostdlib
option). Alternatively, you can #include it right into any of your other C source files.
The process of building nocrt0 can also be controlled with the following DEFINEs:
-D_UNICODE
-DNOSTDLIB
-DARGV={builtin | msvcrt | shell32 | none}
-D_UNICODE builds "wide" version of the startup code (wmain or wWinMain).
-DNOSTDLIB when defined compiles built-in implementation of _alloca() and
__chkstk(). You might need it if you don't link with libgcc.a.
-DARGV is used for a console application (nocrt0c) only. It selects the type of the
underlying implementation of the standard command-line parser (argc/argv). builtin
(default) is the built-in implementation; msvcrt makes use of an external function
__getmainargs() (which is normally imported from msvcrt.dll); shell32 relies on
CommandLineToArgvW() function from shell32.dll; none is for applications that do
not need any command-line processing (int main(void)).
