I import std.stdio;

and
writef("Hello");

gives me:

 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D3std5stdio6writefFYv

when linking!

And i really wanted to figure out how this writef works!

linux or windows? And is the 0.95 library installed?

WindowsXP, i did what i allways do: extract the new zip over the old ones. The strange thing is that there is a _D3std5stdio6writefFYv string in phobos.lib. I just tried deleting my dm and dmd directories, an re-extracted the zip, and now it compiles and links, but when i run it i get "Test.exe is not a valid Win32 executable" It may be that i am a little tired and doing something wrong, i'll try it on the other computer tomorow! :)

I tried it on the other computer and it works(sort of). writefln does work ok writef doesn't print anything with the same arguments!

try an fflush(stdout) after the writef.

That works but that way i have to import both std.c.stdio and std.stdio! I think i'll just stick with the writefln (it is really nice by the way!)

The flush is triggered by the output of '\n' when writing to a 'tty'. I'd just remembered that <g>, which is why the writefln worked for you. The output from writef will eventually appear. In fact, the behavior is the same as if you used a printf without a '\n'.

What about this?

//////////
import std.date;
import std.stdio;
import std.c.stdio;

void main ()
{
    writefln("hi");
    fflush(stdout);
    d_time t = getUTCtime ();
    while ( getUTCtime() - t < 2 ) {}
    writef("bye");
}

//////////

Both "hi" and "bye" get printed at the same time (2 secs after the program
started). Tested on WinXP Pro and Win95 (yes, I'm currently using also 95).

 Both "hi" and "bye" get printed at the same time (2 secs after the program

95). Windows is a multithreaded operating system, and while your program is hung in a tight loop, it is probably preventing other threads from running, like the thread that updates the console window.

I think this will be fixed when TypeInfo gets better, but right now:

date_t t = /* something */;
writef("%s",t);

Outputs the numeric representation of the date.
