Call a function before main [duplicate]

by

You can have a global variable or a static class member.

1) static class member

//BeforeMain.h
class BeforeMain
{
    static bool foo;
};

//BeforeMain.cpp
#include "BeforeMain.h"
bool BeforeMain::foo = foo();

2) global variable

bool b = foo();
int main()
{
}
