hkaiser: i updated the PR, I think it can be merged so that it will be included in the release
<dkaratza[m]>
I still haven't fixed the missing links from the public API. However, I think this can be done in another PR
<dkaratza[m]>
Is it possible that the links don't exist anymore because we changed the full API sectioning? but it's weird that some of them still work
<hkaiser>
dkaratza[m]: ok, and yes, I have no idea what's wrong with the links - didn't look yet
<hkaiser>
dkaratza[m]: merged

K-ballo: silly question: why does it file the defines a name space can compile without a main function?
<gonidelis[m]>
Does a file that define ^^
<gonidelis[m]>
Defines*
<hkaiser>
gonidelis[m]: it will compile but not link as an executable
<gonidelis[m]>
Link to what ?
<K-ballo>
why would i tneed a main function?
<gonidelis[m]>
So let’s say my project is a single file with a single non-main function declaration. It compiles … and that’s fine ?
<hkaiser>
sure
<gonidelis[m]>
I thought main was a prerequisite for compilation.
<hkaiser>
how should the compiler know that there will not be a second TU the object file will be linked to?
<gonidelis[m]>
Ahhhh yes!
<gonidelis[m]>
Darn it
<gonidelis[m]>
Though the compiler does compile all the files so it basically knows if a main exists or not
<gonidelis[m]>
But yet does not complain
<gonidelis[m]>
If it doesn’t exist
<gonidelis[m]>
Bottom line I just thought a main was necessary always
<hkaiser>
gonidelis[m]: why doesn't it complain then when compiling HPX?
<gonidelis[m]>
Yy exaclty my thought
<gonidelis[m]>
U are right
<gonidelis[m]>
Gotcha
<K-ballo>
a main function is a requisite for a program
<K-ballo>
only at the point of program creation will it be looked for
<gonidelis[m]>
What the point of program creation?
<K-ballo>
when you tell the linker to link the object files into a program
