From docs/BROKEN.pod.

Is this something that needs fixing?

(it's in compilers/imcc/main.c)

There is also a src/main.c which says it is the entry point for to
Parrot programs. Should src/parrot.c be removed?

One or the other should. I made src/main.c but I'm starting to prefer
src/parrot.c. Any opinions from anyone else?

-- c

[Klaas-Jan Stol via RT]

the main() function has long been moved from imcc to src/main.c

IMHO, if I see a file called "main", I always look for main() in there.
Of course, main.c can be moved to parrot.c, removing main.c

Anyway, it doesn't really add features to move around code in a detailed
style like this; the point is that main is taken out of imcc, and put
into parrot src/ directory.

I suggest to close this ticket.
