I said might - not will. :-)

The ANSI standard of C says main has to be one of (or equivalent variations):
int main(void)
int main(int argc, char **argv)

If your compiler supports void main(), then that should be considered as a
compiler specific extension, and shouldn't be used in programs that are meant
to be portable.

Refer to the comp.lang.c FAQ, available at http://www.faqs.org
