That is why I use just
int main(){...}without arguments instead.Any
void main(){...}enjoyers?besides not requiring a return value, what difference does it make?
@stebo02 @Bogus5553 Neither of them require a return value, but
void mainisn't legal C++.yeah I thought so, does it work in C?
void main(){...}is not in the standard, but works on both MSVC and GCC (with warnings). I think it works on both C/C++, but you really shouldn’t use it in production. Just useint main(void){...}, without any return value, which is permitted in the standard, and will return success iirc.
