But it doesn't make it an all 16-it process either.

Note that most Windows (win32, NT binaries are rare) binaries still have a 16-bit mode stub to printout "this program requires microsoft windows to run" or something like that. Doesn't make all win32 applications 16-bits msdos EXEs.

You are right I hadn't thought it could just be pre-execution code

Very interesting! Thank you angros47. (Thanks also to Tourist Trap for the command line tip.)

Here, on Linux 64, it works well too. (I used the first link.)

Code: Select all

[roland@localhost libco (master)]$ gcc -c libco.c
[roland@localhost libco (master)]$ fbc libco.o ex1.bas
/usr/bin/../bin/ld : avertissement : /usr/bin/../lib/freebasic/linux-x86_64/fbextra.x contient des sections de sortie; avez-vous oublié -T?
[roland@localhost libco (master)]$ ./ex1
this is main
this is the thread, iteration  1
this is main
this is the thread, iteration  2
