I'm sorry if this is common knowledge, but I can't seem to find the correct
answer anywhere.

the following trivial code
---
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
	cout << "bla" << endl;
}
---
doesn't issue a error or even a warning, even though there is no return (save
the implicit 0 returnvalue)

Is this a bug or a feature ?

Definitely a C++ feature, C needs the return, tough.

By the way, if you are curious, this is 3.6.1, p5 of the C++ standard.

Only C90 actually.  C99 followed C++.
