Your advice did solve the problem, thanks! I wonder which specific entry in the
changelog did it...
The unwillignness to show any text until it finds a newline seems it could be a
cygwin issue. Taking the following code:
#ifndef __CYGWIN__
#define SLEEP _sleep(2000)
#else
#define SLEEP sleep(2)
#endif
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
int i;
while(1) {
for(i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
printf("%c", 'a'+i);
SLEEP;
}
SLEEP;
printf("\n");
}
}
When built in visual C++, it will show 'a', 'b', 'c' etc every 2 seconds. When
built in cygwin with gcc, it will show 'abcde' every 10 seconds. The latter
happens whether I run it from a bash console or windows console.
I'll start a new thread for this if noone off-handedly has the answer...
