Subject: Re: Strange behavior of MSVC's printf under cygwin shell?
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 17:00:15 -0600

I have frequently seen unpredictable behavior of C prints in terms of their
timing.  (I'm
an old guy and I still debug with prints from time to time).  The only way I
got predictable
results was to do a buffer flush immediately after the print.  In my case,
if I didn't do that,
and the program crashed, sometimes I would never see my diagnostic prints.

I have seen this on the SGI and the PC, but I can't swear that the PC was
using VC++,
it may have been Borland, or Cygwin or...
