Subject: carriage-return no longer works quite right in shell-mode
Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2008 20:03:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a9691ee20802051103s575665bh105b77b6f6088443@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I recently updated Emacs from the CVS trunk and one of the programs I
run inside a shell-mode buffer has stopped formatting its output
correctly.
It uses carriage return characters to re-write the same line over and
over, and leaves the cursor at the beginning of the line. Here's a
simplified example that no longer works in Emacs:
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
printf(" count: %d\r", i);
fflush(stdout);
sleep(1);
}
printf("\n");
}
Instead of re-writing the same part of the buffer over and over, I see:
count: 0 count: 1 count: 2
in the buffer - the carriage return isn't returning the carriage like
it used to.
I notice that apt-get does still work - that leaves the cursor at the
end of the line, which I guess is the important difference.
