Ich programmiere seit über 9 Jahren und gemäß dem Rat meines ersten Programmierlehrers halte ich meine main()
Funktion immer extrem kurz.
Anfangs hatte ich keine Ahnung warum. Ich habe nur ohne Verständnis gehorcht, sehr zur Freude meiner Professoren.
Nachdem ich Erfahrung main()
gesammelt hatte , stellte ich fest, dass es bei korrektem Design meines Codes zu einer Art Kurzfunktion kam. Durch das Schreiben von modularisiertem Code und das Befolgen des Grundsatzes der Einzelverantwortung konnte mein Code in "Blöcken" entworfen werden und main()
diente lediglich als Katalysator, um das Programm zum Laufen zu bringen.
Vor ein paar Wochen habe ich mir den Quellcode von Python angesehen und die folgende main()
Funktion gefunden:
/* Minimal main program -- everything is loaded from the library */
...
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
...
return Py_Main(argc, argv);
}
Ja, Python. Kurzfunktion main()
== Guter Code.
Programmierlehrer hatten recht.
Um genauer hinzuschauen, habe ich mir Py_Main angesehen. In seiner Gesamtheit ist es wie folgt definiert:
/* Main program */

Guter Gott, Allmächtiger ... es ist groß genug, um die Titanic zu versenken.
Es scheint, als hätte Python den Trick "Intro to Programming 101" ausgeführt und den gesamten main()
Code auf eine andere Funktion verschoben , die "main" sehr ähnlich ist.
Ist hier meine Frage: Ist dieser Code schrecklich geschrieben, oder gibt es andere Gründe, eine kurze Hauptfunktion zu haben?
Im Moment sehe ich absolut keinen Unterschied, ob ich das mache oder den Code einfach Py_Main()
wieder hineinschiebe main()
. Liege ich falsch, wenn ich das denke?
options = ParseOptionFlags(argc,argv)
wo options
eine struct
, die die Variablen enthält Py_BytesWarningFlag
, Py_DebugFlag
usw ...
