How to write a good C main function

Hey there Sun alumni!

I worked in the Austin TX office from 2000 to 2017 doing performance work and x86 was definitely a dirty word for a long time at Sun. I spent the majority of my time working on SPARC hardware with some weird jaunts from time to time (AMD, firmware, service processors, architecture simulators, stuff like that).
