Yes, because it is required to decrypt old mails.

I know a couple of folks who won't cheer a move t such modern compilers.
After all it makes a lot of autoconf tests superfluous. But as along as
it is only about prototypes we can easily apply this patch. GnuPG has
always demanded C89.

Hi!

I applied the patch. However, changing main to void without having a
return statement is also prone to errors or warnings, right?

I think reaching the } of main has always been specified to return 0
(except for free-standing environments where main isn't special, but
this doesn't apply here).

And the return type of main does not change whether it is declared
explicitly or not.

Thanks,
Florian

Only since C99. It wasn't like that in C89:

"Reaching the } that terminates a function is equivalent to executing a
return statement without an expression."

"If the main function executes a return that specifies no value, the
termination status returned to the host environment is undefined."
