  Because that is correct C++.  The *only* legal declarations for the
  distinguished function `main' are

       int main ()
   and int main (int, char **)

  All other declarations are unacceptable, and not strictly legal C++
  (although the POSIX 1003.1 extension to accomodate the environment
  pointer is usually accepted). The many textbooks and sample source
  snippets that give examples such as

      void main ()

  on the erroneous assumption that this lazy way out of returning a
  value from `main' will work, are JUST PLAIN WRONG.  This is a bad and
  lazy practice that just doesn't seem to want to die.  DON'T DO IT!

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    `void' is *not* the return type of `main'; `int' is.  If you don't
    know what value to return from `main', include the  header
    and use the predefined `EXIT_SUCCESS' or `EXIT_FAILURE' macros.
