Been playing with Orca C...  this doesn't print anything...

fprintf(stdout,"Hello there");

even though the manual says it should...so I tried this:

freopen(".CONSOLE","w",stdout);
fprintf(stdout,"Hello there");

Still didn't work...

only the standard print command works...

printf("Hello there");

Am I doing something wrong?

There isn't a \n on the line, which in the C language could mean that 
the buffer doesn't flush. That, I do not believe, is a problem with the 
ORCA/C implementation of the language. (C language side note: normally 
in the C language if you want the cursor to remain on the same line as 
the output you'd use a fflush(stdout); after the printf(...); to ensure 
that the line actually prints (portably across all implementations). 


It works just fine on my system:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
   fprintf(stdout,"Hello there\n");
   return 0;
}

 
#run test.c keep=t

Which version of ORCA/C are you using?

Paste the smallest version of your program that exhibits the behavior. 
Maybe there is a typo or something you aren't seeing. Sometimes a second 
set of eyes can find the problem easier.

By the way, are you on an emulator or on a real IIgs?



My screen says:

Orca/Shell 1.2.1
Orca/C Disk Version 1.2
Release Date: 15 March 1991

Are you game for updating me to the latest version?

The following code works when compiled on my PC, but doesn't print anything
when compiled using my version of Orca/C, either on my real GS or in the
emulator (Kegs)

------------------  Begin Code  ---------------------------------------

/* This program prints out a listing with line numbers */

#include <stdio.h>

void do_heading(char *filename);

int line, page;

int main( int argv, char *argc[] )
{
  char buffer[256];
    FILE *fp;

      if( argv < 2)
      {
          fprintf(stderr, "\nProper Usage is: " );
          fprintf(stderr, "printit filename\n" );
          return(1);
      }

      if (( fp = fopen( argc[1], "r" )) == NULL )
      {
        fprintf( stderr, "Error opening file, %s!", argc[1] );
        return(1);
      }

      page = 0;
      line = 1;

      do_heading( argc[1]);

      while( fgets( buffer, 256, fp ) != NULL )
      {
        if( line % 55 == 0 )
          do_heading( argc[1] );

          fprintf( stdout, "%4d:\t%s", line++, buffer);
      }

      fprintf( stdout, "\f" );
      fclose(fp);
      return(0);
    }

    void do_heading( char *filename )
    {

    page++;

    if ( page > 1)
    fprintf( stdout, "\f" );

    fprintf( stdout, "Page: %d, %s\n", page, filename );
    }
