Subject: mingw32 DLL getting main args?
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.3.95.iB1.0.991026033214.1821A-100000@vtn1>

Why does a DLL, made with Mumit's mingw32 2.95 release, need to call
msvcrt.dll's __getmainargs?

When the DLLMainCRTStartup function receives DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH it calls
_mingw32_init_mainargs, which then calls __getmainargs. I don't want my
DLL to be dynamicly linked to msvcrt.dll, but it is because of this. Why
does a DLL need to parse the command line?

Daniel
