It was thus said that the Great Noel Chiappa via cctalk once stated:
Yeah, I'm having a hard time with that too. I mean, pedantically, it
should be:
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) { return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
Pedantically, it does not matter -- a return from main is equivalent
to an exit(), and exit(0) is sensibly defined, and EXIT_SUCCESS can
also be different from 0 (even though I don't think such a platform
exists).
Similiarly for EXIT_FAILURE ...

No even the following program:
int main (void) { return 0; }
is guaranteed to work
I'm missing something: why not?
