D.gnu - Flush to stdio?

reply "Dleaner" <bm.email01 gmail.com> writes:
I was using writef("escape string" ~ "Display string") to try to 
simulate a console, but noticed that the writes are only flushed 
when a newline is present.

Is there a 'flush' function that works with stdio?
'flush()' seems unkown to the compiler, and 'fflush()' seems to 
be for files, not for writing to the screen.

You mean stdout.flush() ? -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0';

Tried your idea, error message was: "No property 'flush' for type '_iobuf'

stdout should be a struct File if you imported std.stdio; As if looks like the C stdout is taking precedence, you can either force the use of it via std.stdio.stdout.flush() , or call fflush(stdout). Regards -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0';

Your suggestion of: fflush(stdout); worked. Thank you.

You can also try to call setvbuf on stdio with _IONBF mode to set 
it to non-buffering mode.

oops, stdout.
int zero=setvbuf(stdout,null,_IONBF,0);
assert(zero==0);

or

stdio.setvbuf(0,_IONBF);
