main without type and return

[Josue Molina]

My compiler lets me do this:

main()
{
}

Does the C++ standard allow this?

[zb0S216C]

No. The standard states that only the following prototypes are allowed:

int main( )
int main( int Argc, char **Argv )

Edited: Bad prototype :(

Isn't the second parameter supposed to be char* argv[] or char** argv?

[vlad from moscow]

In old C functions by default have return type int if it was omited. However this is not allowed by more late C/C++ standards. Imolementations may only set different number of arguments.

it is not important where u use asterisks as far as i know

they r same:
char* P1; char * P1; char *P1;

@Daleth
is there really any difference among the two??
i guess both of 'em are the same...

[Andy Richard]

i totally agree with @Ceset
:D

[Daleth]

My post was a response to Framework's previous version of the prototype, which he has already fixed. Before, he accidently wrote int** argv.

@Daleth sorry for misunderstand
