Well, being a horrible idea itself to redefine main() to something else and expect the module to do no harm to its caller, I think Eitan still have a valid point that it could be a bad idea to ban this in wholesale within compiler, as the C standard don't ban using return's in main(). In style(9) the examples do use exit() for main() by the way. Cheers, - -- Xin LI <delp...@delphij.net> https://www.delphij.net/ FreeBSD - The Power to Serve!
