there is many methods for identifying the main function on C/C++

one of them is to identify the compiler so you can use it for your advantage

You can use IDA Pro Free to de-compile the source code on the cloud

But in This Post we will use Ghidra to identify WinMain function in C++

 

there is some notes make it in your concern  to understand the different between Main() and WinMain() and DllMain() in C/C++

1- WinMain() is Used For GUI (Non-Console ) Application.

2- Main() is Used For (Non-GUI) Application console Based .

3-DllMain() Is Used For a Dll's.

 

Before going into The Main Subject which is "simple"

let's take a pref look for the Compile Unicode

- in Windows programming, there are two main entry points for Windows applications: wmain and WinMain. 

The wmain entry point is used for Unicode (wide-character) applications,

The WinMain entry point is used for ANSI (narrow-character) applications

Nice share <3
Ghidra is great, happy to see it is getting as much love as IDA these days.

isn't it already added detected by default in modern versions ? IDA does that.
