All the same... we know that int main (void) works correctly everywhere but there is no guarantee that empty parenthese will.
That said, the debate is interresting.

Now I am one to use 'int main(void)' as well, however the purpose of the standard is to ensure that it will work everywhere. If you wind up running into a compiler that won't accept 'int main()' then you have met a non-compliant compiler and should probably get a new one.Originally Posted by CommonTater

There are still a few up to date compilers that are not C-99 compliant... many are still working from C-89 or, in microsoft's case, from a set of self-made rules that serve their purposes.
Haha....that's because Microsoft and Walmart are secretly working together to take over the world!.

As I noted in post #15, this feature where empty parentheses in function definition => no parameters is from C89. AndrewHunter just happened to quote from C99, which I deduced by the clause number. In fact, C99 marks the identifier list feature as obsolescent, though the draft of the next version of C that I have at hand retains it. Consequently...
We don't know that int main(void) works correctly everywhere (and in fact we know that it doesn't: freestanding implementations), and if it does, then int main() will.

OKAY GUYS.... I'm a bit confused. Which should I use now?
Should I use int void ?OKAY GUYS.... I'm a bit confused. Which should I use now?
Just use:
Code:int main(void)

Seldom have I ever seen such a truly simple point so totally bemuddled, only to arrive right back at the original suggestion...
Yes, use int main (void)
