What is the difference between "int main(void)" and simply "int main()"? Is "int main()" acceptable?

Jump to Postyes, it has no difference, but you should always use the int main(int nargs, args[]);, it is better then just int main()
Jump to PostI like programs that support command line arguments. There, there's my opinion, now I'll just brace for the backlash.....
Jump to Postwhat about void main()?
Not portable at best, undefined behavior at worst.
Working fine for me...
You'll find that "it works for me" is not synonymous with "it's correct" in C++. There are a lot of broken things that appear to work when you test, but can and do blow …
Jump to PostWow are we really having a 4 page long thread about this. I don't get whats the problem. You guys/girls/its needs to get some fresh air and forget this thread ever happened
Jump to PostIt's worse to use "int main(int argv, char** args)" because you loose two variable names if you won't use command line arguements or if the system does not support it .)
Luckily there's literally 1.1478385914378332077745140144861e+457 other variable names to choose from.
