I think GCC does the replacement automatically
unless -ffreestanding option is given.


With a quick test, I got the following disassembly

0000000000400440 <main>:
  400440: 48 83 ec 08           sub    $0x8,%rsp
  400444: bf c4 05 40 00       mov    $0x4005c4,%edi
  400449: e8 c2 ff ff ff       callq  400410 <puts@plt>
  40044e: 31 c0                 xor    %eax,%eax
  400450: 48 83 c4 08           add    $0x8,%rsp
  400454: c3                   retq

from the following program:

int main(void)
{
    printf("hello, world\n");
    return 0;
}

I like the code as is.

Such error checks and magic numbers are messy.
