That one automatically gets a prototype of int main(void).  No problem.

The default return type for C functions has been int since 1970, and was not
changed by the standard.  It gets the same prototype as above.  No problem.

The default return type hasn't changed during the last three seconds  :-)

In int main(int argc, char *argv[]), the type of the second parameter is
automatically adjusted (by the standard) to yield exactly what you have
typed here.  I think you're allowed to save that step  :-)
