I have my main function set up as

so taht i can read in a variable which is passed to the program on 

the

command line. The problem is that main calls other functions and 

some

of them need to start jump to the start of main. If my main setup 

was

just int main() this would be no problem, i could just call main();

The problem is main needs parameters passed to it now.  Would any1
know what parameters I could pass to vall the main program??

argv[1] is just used once as soon as main starts up and never used
again after, so i dont mind if i loose the ability to read from it, i
just need to be able to call main from another part of the program

Thanks and regards 


Recursively calling main is a bit funky.  Why not have main call some
other
function (which takes no arguments) which is then used for the
recursion?

Anyway, you could always call main later with main(0,NULL).
Or if you want, you could squirrel away (in a static) the original
argc and argv and reinvoke main with them later.


Not exactly. argv[argc] must be NULL, i.e. you need
main(0, p), where *p==NULL.
