#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

struct S
{
  friend int main () { cout  << "boo" << endl; }
};

// well formed ?




additionally, if

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) is legal

then is

int main (int argc, char **argv) legal too ?

(same with int main () and int main (void))

it isnt clear to me if 3.6.1
is talking about the signature of
the function in general or the
functions exact form ?

Thanks.

No.

3.6.1/3:
  [...] A program that declares main to be inline or static is ill-formed.
