debug mode

forgive me for lack of more info. In the "start debugging" mode, in case 1, the main never begins, i see circled cursor, but in case 2 it does. why?. vc2008.

case 1:
int main(...)
{
std::cout << "Begin .." < std:;endl;
Myclass myc;
myc = ref.rcl(...);

if A(...)
{
...
myf.open(myc.f().file1);
myf.close();
myf.clear();
}
if B(...)
{
...
myf.open(myc.f().file1);
myf.close();
myf.clear();
}
if C(...)
{
...
myf.open(myc.f().file1);
myf.close();
myf.clear();
}
etc.
}

case 2:
int main(...)
{
Myclass myc;
myc = ref.(...);
char *s = myc.f().file1;
if A(...)
{
...
myf.open(s);
myf.close();
myf.clear();
}
if B(...)
{
...
myf.open(s);
myf.close();
myf.clear();
}
if C(...)
{
...
myf.open(s);
myf.close();
myf.clear();
}
etc.
}

No idea what you're trying to do. Why would the definition of main be inside a switch statement?

:confused:
Spotted this however

Code:

---

std::cout << "Begin .." < std:;endl;

---

but since the entire code is mutilated it probably doesn't mean anything.
