The newbie user _should be alarmed_, because the newbie has just
invoked undefined behaviour.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ cat > foo.c
void main () { }
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ gcc foo.c
foo.c: In function `main':
foo.c:1: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'
I hope you're not about to argue that that should read
foo.c:1: note: return type of `main' is not `int', but don't worry about it too

Cheers,
Christophe
