Subject:	Problems with fflush() under Cygwin 1.5.8 ...

Hi

I am currently porting process communication middleware (developed under
LINUX) to Cygwin. I have managed to find workarounds for missing (mkfifo
-- are named pipes *ever* going to be available under Cygwin?) but
problems still remain.

Major problem is that fflush() does not appear to flush buffered material
to file reliably (I have tested my code on Darwin, LINUX, OSF1 and SOLARIS
all of which work fine) so I suspect that there *may* be a Cygwin/NewLib
problem here.

FYI my code makes extensive use of signal handlers -- I don't know if this
would cause side effects which could mess up stdio on Cywin ...

Has anyone else had similar problems?


Regards

Mark O'Neill
