No. argc may be zero.
N869
5.1.2.2.1 Program startup
[#2] If they are declared, the parameters to the main
function shall obey the following constraints:
-- The value of argc shall be nonnegative.
-- argv[argc] shall be a null pointer.
-- If the value of argc is greater than zero, the array
members argv[0] through argv[argc-1] inclusive shall
contain pointers to strings, which are given
implementation-defined values by the host environment
prior to program startup. The intent is to supply to
the program information determined prior to program
startup from elsewhere in the hosted environment. If
the host environment is not capable of supplying
strings with letters in both uppercase and lowercase,
the implementation shall ensure that the strings are
received in lowercase.
-- If the value of argc is greater than zero, the string
pointed to by argv[0] represents the program name;
argv[0][0] shall be the null character if the program
name is not available from the host environment. If
the value of argc is greater than one, the strings
pointed to by argv[1] through argv[argc-1] represent
the program parameters.
