What could be the cause for a program to crash/exit before entering the main() function?
I am working on a project that was running normally. I added some code that uses boost threads, I updated the makefiles (CMakeLists.txt), and everything compiles and links without issues.
When I launch the executable, all I get is the prompt.
To check if the programs starts doing something, I add a cerr << "TEST" << endl as the first instruction in main(), and nothing is printed.
Of course when I try to print that string no threads are created, yet.
Putting a break point at the beginning of main() is useless.
System:
Windows 7, MinGW, GCC, cmake
The problem is probably in some global class varible's constructor. They will be called before main.
