main is void, but gcc thinks it's an int...

[HelicalCynic]

I keep getting the following error (compiling using 'g++ assignment4.cpp')

assignment4.cpp:22: `main' must return `int'
assignment4.cpp: In function `int main(...)':

and main is void!

 void main(void)
{

Any ideas as to what's wrong with my gcc settings or my code?

C++ standard dictates that main must return an int, so I guess it is changing it for you in memory

that's strange. i was just able to do that.
it does warn that it has changed the return type, but compiles if the -Wall option is not used during the compile

i'm willing to bet the answer for all of this lies somewhere in the specs file.
run gcc -v to find your specs file.

is there a reason main needs to return void in your program?

do this

int main()
{
blah;
return 0;
}
