No you cannot unless you are writing a program in a freestanding environment (embedded environment OS kernel etc.) where the starting point need not be main(). As per the C++ standard main() is the starting point of any program in a hosted environment.
As per the:
C++03 standard 3.6.1 Main function
1 A program shall contain a global function called main, which is the designated start of the program. It is implementation-defined whether a program in a freestanding environment is required to define a main function. [ Note: In a freestanding environment, start-up and
termination is implementation-defined; startup contains the execution of constructors for objects of namespace scope with static storage duration; termination contains the execution of destructors for objects with static storage duration.
What is freestanding Environment & What is Hosted Environment?
There are two kinds of conforming implementations defined in the C++ standard; hosted and freestanding.
A freestanding implementation is one that is designed for programs that are executed without the benefit of an operating system.
For Ex: An OS kernel or Embedded environment would be a freestanding environment.
A program using the facilities of an operating system would normally be in a hosted implementation.
From the C++03 Standard Section 1.4/7:
A freestanding implementation is one in which execution may take place without the benefit of an operating system, and has an implementation-defined set of libraries that includes certain language-support libraries.
Further,
Section: 17.4.1.3.2 Freestanding implementations quotes:
A freestanding implementation has an implementation-defined set of headers. This set shall include at least the following headers, as shown in Table:
18.1 Types <cstddef>
18.2 Implementation properties <limits>
18.3 Start and termination <cstdlib>
18.4 Dynamic memory management <new>
18.5 Type identification <typeinfo>
18.6 Exception handling <exception>
18.7 Other runtime support <cstdarg>
