Correct. Two ISO C forms of main are: int main (void) { ... } /* identical to: int main () { ... } */ or int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { ... } /* identical to: int main (int argc, char **argv) { ... } */ However: int main (); and int main (void); are not identical *declarations*. But only crazy people who like to call "main" recursively ever write declarations for it... In non-conforming mode (the default), gcc will also accept "void main(...)" and the three argument form that adds "char **envp"... And then, there is the K&R form with implicit int return: main (argc, argv) int argc; char *argv[]; {...} K&R is accepted but deprecated in all versions of ISO/ANSI C except the implicit int return type is an error in C99.
