Edit Question
Title
Body
I was trying to create a program that takes arguments by command line, using main() function arguments. As a (basic) C++ programmer (even if I know quite well pointers and array in C-style) I hardly ever used char* strings and C-arrays. I spent some to take main() arguments and transform it in std::string ... So asked myself: why in C++ the main() function is not overloaded to take an std::vector<std::string> argv instead of the old char* argv[] ? For "overload" I mean the coexistence of main() functions like int main() and int main(int argc, char *argv[]) , not the overloading of a normal function made by the programmer.
