Declare main prototype

C language standard, draft n1256:

5.1.2.2.1 Program startup

1 The function called at program startup is named main. The implementation declares no
prototype for this function
. It shall be defined with a return type of int and with no
parameters:


int main(void) { /* ... */ }

or with two parameters (referred to here as argc and argv, though any names may be
used, as they are local to the function in which they are declared):


int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { /* ... */ }

or equivalent;9) or in some other implementation-defined manner.

Emphasis mine.
