The_Sage, I see you've gotten yourself a twin asking for program in
comp.lang.c++ .
http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&th=45cd1b289c71c33c&rnum=1
If you the oh so mighty programmer that you pretend to be, why don't you
just write some? (And oh, void main is still not allow by the C++ standard.)
Seeming as how you tried to quote the standard in an attempt to pretend
you're right, I'll quote the standard to once and for all destory all your
arguements.
C++ standard 3.6.1 Main function
Paragraph 5
"A return statement in main has the effect of leaving the main function
(destroying any objects with automatic storage duration) and calling exit
with the return value as the argument. If control reaches the end of main
without encountering a return statement, the effect is that of executing
return 0;"
Now, not even an idiot like you can argue with what it says here. Either an
return value have been specificed, or the main function return 0 by default.
Could you please tell everyone in your (imaginary) infinte wisdom how main
can be of type void if it return a value?
(Oh btw, that paragraph from the standard is only 3 paragraphs down (on the
same page) from what you quoted, if only you had learn how to read
properly.....)

He doesn't even know what the standard is. I quoted it, then he picked out
one sentence and started to misinterpret it.

Ah yes, one of his many personailities know what the standard is, while
another doesn't...
Nice to see how someone can understand something only if it suits the
person.... :D

That's okay, I can beat that.
I posted some assembly code with some "almost equivalent" C code
in the comments and he accused me of posting C code, not assembly :-)
I'm sure, however, that he'll claim he ran my assembly code through
the Borland, Microsoft, and IBM compilers and all three accepted
the code just fine

Nothing there says anything about not being able to use void main() and you
haven't offered any explainantion why they would want to contradict themselves
by stating earlier that "other implementations" of main() were allowed. In
addition to that, you also have not offered any explanation of why would IBM,
MS, and Borland agree with my interpretation and not yours? Once again, you are
just another example of an illiterate asshole who doesn't have a clue. You are
going to need more than your big mouth and your little brain if you want to
offer an intelligent argument that will stand up to the facts. Now go away with
your tail tucked between your legs, and don't come back until you get a clue.

Now. I did. You then copied it from my post, carefully leaving out those
parts, which you did not understand so you could not try to turn them inside
out to make them to look to support your braindead ideas. Like the part
which says that the return value of main is passed to the exit function
(taking an int argument).

Because they also did state there that all of those "other implementations"
*must* have an int return value.
| Quote: | In addition to that, you also have not

None of them does. The C++ liaison of Microsoft just have told you, that
accepting void main is a non-standard, standards conforming extension in
their compilers.

You are not in the position to tell anybody to 'go away'.
At least not in comp.lang.c++
But keep up the good work. I appriciate the way you
make a fool out of yourself.

The only place a quote from a standard could come from is from you? I don't
think so. And a quote is a quote is a quote and the quote says that "other types
may be implemented-defined". Can't get any clearer than that.
Grow up, please.

It does not say "void main cannot return 0". That is your interpretation and
only your interpretation. IBM, MS, and Borland all disagree with you but agree
with me. They all use void main(). Everyone who has ever used those compilers
knows that, so why don't you use one of those compilers and see what you've been
missing?
Here, let me help you embarrass yourself...
http://homepages.tesco.net/~J.deBoynePollard/FGA/legality-of-void-main.html
It's simple: You do not know what you are talking about. Come back when you can
be more civil and actually have some facts instead of childish banter.
