Anybody seen the comp.lang.c T-shirts with the slash > b: void main(), void main( void ), i use void main( void ) even in C++. void main() is nonsense, in particular in environments that use the return value from main. main() is of type `int' by definition. The behaviour of a type clash void <-> int is undefined (to the best of my knowledge). The behaviour of #pragma is undefined, too, and gcc used to launch `nethack' for some time when it saw a #pragma. This was in full accordance with the standard. :-)) Go to comp.lang.c with your void main(), and see how you'll be bombed. ;) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
