If it;s written in C++
then it can be crash before calling main function iff something messed up in global static initialization.
Just have a look onto the same.

We need to check the following:

-> Version of application in use and compatibility with the operating system.

-> Limitation with the memeory.

-> The program written is calling a pointer which then eats away the entire memory.

-> An infinite loop which again is causing the program to eat away the memory, and then, after the maximum limit is reached, it gets crashed.

-> Null pointer exception

In addition to this:

-> While an application has been upgraded to a new version, if few libraries has not been migrated, then this situation occurs.
