How do you get a class name from the main() method

Posted by subhash on December 12, 2001 at 11:17 PM

As main() is static, I dont have a this to do getClass(). This requirement comes from my design of a base class which defines how the derived classes should be launched (i.e. has a final main())
Goog old C++ gives atleast the program name as the first argument :)
