Bug 000200

When Created: 01/13/1998 15:16:27
Against DJGPP version: 2.01
By whom: mrb8@waikato.ac.nz
Abstract: Cout doesn't print to screen until 'endl'.
Cout, on my computer, doesn't appear to display a message using cout unless I tag
a end-of-line message onto the end of it.
I.E. :	This doesn't display : cout << "Hello";
		This does :			   cout << "Hello" << endl;

... yet another victim of the concept of 'line buffered I/O' ...

Well, this is not a bug, the cout is line buffered, it is like this in other
C++ compilers like Borland as well as DJGPP.  This speeds up text output.  Now
Either you have to tag on an endl, or do use the flush command.

void main() {
  cout << "Text";  //hasn't printed yet
  cout << " . . . and more text";  //still doesn't display
  //if you don't want to end the line, but display:
  cout.flush();    //Display the lines out
}
