void main()

[Charles Hannum]

The basic problem is that you ass/u/me that the compiler will always return
values in a register.  If this is the case, then fine.  But it is emphatically
**NOT** the case.  Making such gross assumptions about the way any particular
compiler works is just begging for trouble.  C was never defined to return
values on the stack.  The way this is done may vary from compiler to compiler,
and to ass/u/me it does it one particular way makes your code non-portable.

If all you want to do is disable the warning, just add a return(0) at the end
of your main() function.  Even if it isn't optimized out, it will only take
a couple of bytes.  This is a much better alternative than declaring main()
as a void.
