Simple test case:

import std.stdio;
import std.process;

void main() {
        writefln("line1");
        system("echo line2");
        writefln("line3");
        system("echo line4");
}



line1

line4

All fine. But when i try redirect it to file or other process, i have:

line2
line4
line1
line3

"It's not a bug, it's a feature". It's simple, really. The pipe transforms
stdio for the D program from line-buffered to block-buffered. The writefln call
does not flush the stream, and that's about what happens. The same happens in a
C program using printf and system.

To fix, you may want to insert calls to fflush(stdout) after the writes.

  ^^^^^
I meant stdout not stdio.
