does #pragma startup work in c?

[chandru]

[code=c]void first();
void last();

#pragma startup first
#pragma exit last

#include<stdio. h>

main()
{
printf("I m in main");
}

void first()
{
printf("I m in first");
}

void last()
{.
printf("i m in last");
}
[/code]
When i m running this program i did not get the desired result this only prints

i m in main does #pragma work in c?

I have compiled this code using both turbo c and visual studio compilers

Pragmas are not just compiler vendor specific, they're also version specific; when
a compiler implementation doesn't implement a certain pragma it is supposed to
ignore it. Read your compiler's user manual.

I don't know; I don't use any TurboC compiler but I think what you want to
accomplish can also be accomplished by:

[code=c]
int main() {
first();
...
last();
return 0;
}
[/code]

kind regards,
