Re: [cdt-dev] No console output until application terminates

[Dave Inglis <dinglis@xxxxxxx>]

The console in Eclipse does not have real terminal behavior so when your 
program starts up it will enable full buffering on output, so in order 
to force output to the console, the program must call fflush(...), or 
you call call setvbuf(...) to change to buffering behavior of your program.
