Does the linux kernel have a main function?

linux内核有main函数；main函数是程序的入口，main是应用程序和操作系统之间约定好的一个接口名，所以linux中每个应用程序的第一个函数必须是main。

本教程操作环境：linux5.9.8系统、Dell G3电脑。

linux内核有main函数吗？

linux内核源码之main函数解析

这几天一直在纠结：

 

main函数是程序的入口，一个程序启动后，经过bootloader的初始化就该经main函数进入C语言的世界，但是linux中每个应用程序的开始都是从main函数开始的。linux下有多个应用程序，岂不是有很多个main。那bootloader会知道跳到哪个main？多个main编译怎么不冲突？

 

 

 

在网上搜索了很久，渐渐的有些明白了：

 

1、main函数是C语言的入口，这句话没错；但是这句话仅仅是一个约定，而非一个亘古不变的铁律！从程序的更为本质的汇编代码来看，只是大家约定汇编初始化完了后，跳到一个名字叫"main"的标号处；言外之意就是这个标号也是可以改名的，比如linux的C语言入口就是start_kernel（）；从这个标号地址后就是C语言的天下了。用main这个名字仅仅是因为大家的约定而已，不遵守约定能玩的转也行啊，就像苹果充电线啥的都和别人不一样。

 

2、在编译时是不存多个main函数的！每个应用程序虽说都有一个main函数（从应用程序来看应用程序的入口是main函数哦）；但是应用程序都是独立编译的，不会一起编译，操作系统内核就更不可能和应用程序一起编译了！所以根本不存在多个main冲突的！！可能是统一操作系统与应用程序之间的接口，亦或是侧面影响下main是程序入口的说法，main是应用程序和操作系统之间约定好的一个接口名！所以linux中每个应用程序的第一个函数必须是main。除非你改掉了内核调度的接口地方。

 

3、linux的应用程序的安装启动也可以类比下我们每天都在用的Windows。Windows应用程序的安装其实也是把一些执行文件拷贝到指定的文件夹里（从绿色软件看），点击就可以运行。linux下也是这样。编译好的bin文件放到指定的文件夹目录下，然后用命令启动执行。
