Thank you for the port.

This seems to be duplicate of #3909, which is fixed as of now.

Please be advised that declaring argv as const is in violation of the C++ Standard.

according to n3000 it's implementation-defined:

It shall have a return type of type int, but otherwise its type is implementation-defined. All implementations shall allow both of the following definitions of main:

int main() { /* ... */ }

and

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { /* ... */ }
