Subject: | Re: DJGPP Compiler - what does ___start() do ? |
> Does anyone know what ___start() does, why this phenomenon occurs and > how it may be circumvented ? __start() is the name of the very first address that gets executed when the program first switches to 32-bit mode. Since it's near the beginning of the address space, it tends to take the blame for a wide variety of program failures, since that's the best guess that the debugger can make as to where the program was when the failure happened.
