There is none --- cprintf() isn't buffered, so it doesn't need any
fflush workalike, to begin with. Instead, you'ld have to be sure you
fflush(stdout) before any cprintf() or gotoxy() call following a
printf().

The basic problem is that you simply should not mix cprintf() and normal
printf(), like that. There's no good reason to do so, anyway. If you're
going to use cprintf(), use it for all output.
