start08.c

[admin]

Hello,
Can anyone explain the purpose of the file start08.c in Code Warrior? and why is it that when I debug my code  the source window uses the start08.c instead of my program?

Thanks!

The purpose of start08.c is to initialize the stack pointer, all global variables and once this is done, to call main.
So the reset vector points to _Startup in start08.c and once all those things did happen, main, say your code, gets started. One of the questions when creating a new project is also to skip most of the code in start08.c (the variable initialization).
