Couldn't this be specified as the "Launching application" parameter?
Actually it is defined in Run -> Run Parameters ... -> Host application
I was thinking about the case where some sort of wrapper was needed to
do something sensible with the library, e.g. to call a "magic number"
function as a basic test of what interface it exposed.
I think a fair question is whether a library can be built in such a way that
it can also be started as a program, i.e. can be invoked in such a way as to
test its own basic functionality.
How to create an automatic test program for it?
There are no general rules to do such thing.
No, I was wondering about the extent to which a library could be defined
such that it was also runnable as a program.
P.S.
Not really related to this question but maybe 2 years ago Lazarus
still allowed to "run" a library project.
It was a bug, the library binary was treated like any program binary
and it crashed of course.
It is fixed now.
But /why/ did it crash? Can a library be written so that it doesn't
crash if invoked as a program?
