Possible Duplicate:
Difference between void main and int main?

Why is

void main() {
    //return void
}

bad?

The other day I typed this and someone pointed out to me that it is wrong to do so. I was so confused. I have been writing like this for a while now, I know it isn’t C++ standard, but the compiler doesn’t give out any warnings. Why is this wrong?
