Re: warnings, errors;source code is included

[David Benson <daveb idealab com>]

Though `void main()' suppresses the compiler warnings,
the calling function will assume main's exit status
is to be the exit status for the process.

In other words, if you want to reliably exit and indicate
that the run was successful, you should declare `int main()'
and return 0 if you are exitting successfully.

Of course, in many gui environments, exit codes are
just ignored... but you shouldn't assume that...
