int main(int argc, const char * argv[])

In Xcode 9 you can try the following (works for me in June 2018):

1. instead of 'edit scheme' click 'new scheme', give it a name and save
2. now choose that new scheme you've just created and click 'edit scheme'
3. go to the 'Info' tab and in a menu 'Executable' choose 'Other...'
4. in file window go to search input field and type 'terminal' and click on its icon when you find it. Now you should see 'Terminal.app' in 'Executable' field
5. go to the 'Arguments' tab, click on + and copy and paste this line there: ${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${FULL_PRODUCT_NAME}
6. click 'close' and run your program with your new scheme selected

Normally Xcode will open terminal for you. If not, you may also turn off any debug related fields in the 'Info' tab. Hope this helps!
