            Bug ID: 18541
           Summary: Using the main function in a program is allowed
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: C++
          Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

This causes an infinite loop:

int main() {auto* x = &main; x();}

[basic.start.main]/3 states:

"The function main shall not be used within a program."

I can even do things like

int x = 0; int main() {auto* f = &main; if (++x == 0) f();}

which run correctly.

gcc rejects taking the address of main.
