Initializing your program

It is very important to properly initialize some libFoundation internal data structures when the program starts. These information are mainly related to the NSProcessInfo class. Because not on all platforms is possible to find out the arguments and the environment variables passed to the program, we have chosen to explicitly delegate this task to user. The first lines in a libFoundation program, before creating any other objects, should be the following:

int main (int argc, char** argv, char** env)
{
    /* Declarations here */
...

#ifdef LIB_FOUNDATION_LIBRARY
    [NSProcessInfo initializeWithArguments:argv
                   count:argc
                   environment:env];
#endif

    /* Objects initialization and other instructions here */
    ...
}
