RE: [cdt-dev] The old problem of buffering in the console (Windows)
|
In short, the Eclipse console is not doing the buffering,
but the C library linked into the process.
You'd certainly gain a lot of appreciation from the
community if you find a solution to this problem.

If
you've used Eclipse CDT on Windows you know that the Eclipse console has
buffering problems.
Basically,
it doesn't flush the streams when a newline is received. (Unlike a normal
windows console window)
Until
lately I used to either add fflush calls when needed or add the following
lines in the start of the main function:
setvbuf(stdout,
NULL, _IONBF, 0);
setvbuf(stderr,
NULL, _IONBF, 0);
Since
we're using Eclipse CDT as the recommended IDE for a software development
course I need some solution or workaround to allow my students work on CDT.
Having
mixed stdout & stderr is unacceptable for a programming newbie.
(Seriously, this bug is probably preventing hundred of new C/C++ programmers
working on windows from seriously using Eclipse instead of Visual)
I
would love if someone could help me with a workaround.
Or
even better, direct me to the right piece of code in Eclipse where I can solve
this problem myself and be done with it. (I have the time and necessary
skills)
