Message: [QUOTE="The_Sage, post: 1462473"] So if you can't hear me speak then you must be deaf? It couldn't be you can't hear me because we have never communicated other than in writing, would it? Haha! This just emphasizes your lack of logical thinking abilities. I meant dumb in the sense of stupid. Thanks for proving me right. Telepathy doesn't exist and you are still blindly posting random responses. How long have you had ADD? Nope...try another guess. You are about to find out, little boy. Didn't your mommy and daddy teach you anything when you were growing up? Oh, I am assuming you are grown up. Sorry about that. I have never had any questions about it. Not a one. Try another random guess. Is there an echo in here? That is what I just said. Which word didn't you understand this time? Wrong again. We've been discussing what *RETURN TYPES* are legal according to the standard, as quoted above. This isn't about what paramenter types are allowed, this isn't about whether int main() is legal, this is about if anything other than int main() is allowed, including, but not limited to, void main(). But you were never one for simple, elementary comprehension, were you? I didn't think so. I will and I will start by ignoring your childish stupidity, your childish dodging and evading the issues, and your childish reasoning abilities. You didn't address the issue. Again! You coward! Of course the sentence in question *IS NOT* ambigious because it says "shall" but then modifies "shall" with "but otherwise". That means a conforming compiler shall have a version of main() that returns an int (they have no choice but to allow that one) BUT OTHERWISE you can return whatever you like (if implemented/defined), ie -- the compiler manufacturers can use void main() as long as and only as long as, they have int main() listed as one of the choices. You had your chance and you failed. I had my chance and I succeeded (as proved by your complete and total inability to refute the quote from the standard, using either logic or by referencing legitimate sources that indicate otherwise...oops! I'm sorry for using such big words that you have no clue what they mean. Ask one of *YOUR* fellow programmers to read it back to you so you can understand what was said. End of discussion.
