C++ Coding help Needed
-
I have this one line in my C++ code that I'm using, but it says I need a initializer before the word "main". I took C++ a couple of years ago, so I naturally forgot what an initializer is, but I'm pretty sure that it's not int. Can anybody help? Code: int __cdecl main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {

Y u've mentioned __cdecl? Its implicit and return some value.

May be true :) , AFAIK initializers are for data types not for function, which gives initial values to variables.

iam not sure couple of years ago it was so. :) return of main is same as calling exit function in main, it is used to return the success code of the application and it is int. u can avoid returning any value if the type of main is void. As a side note C++ doesnot assume default int for function return type (may be this is ur "pretty sure"). u can check whether main is using int by giving return type like double (where sizeof(return type) > sizeof (int) or user type)

In this line of C++ code, i think no issues. can u state what is the exact error statement.

I suspect some code above or below this function causing the error say
struct MyStruct
{
} // missing ;
int __cdecl main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{in this case compiler says error in return type as it takes MyStruct as return type.

Unless you are passing arguments to
main()and are returning a value to the command interpreter, you could simplify things by using:void main( void )
