Hello ,

  i've got a small problem with c-programs writing on
  stdout/stderr. i cannot see the output while running the
  program over the emacs shell access.
  after exiting the program the buffer gets filled.
  a simultaneous output mode would be nice for debug...

  thanks for your help!

Best regards,
 Oliver

Does your program flush the output?  What happens if you run
it from a shell outside of emacs?

Hello!

Which platforms, compilers and distribution of emacs are you running
on?

emacs uses a pipe to route stdout to the buffer.  The C default for
pipes is fully buffered.  So you don't see the output until exit or
the buffer is full.

Put this into your C program main():

    setvbuf(stdout,0,_IONBF,0);

I'm not sure about stderr, since I thought it was unbuffered by
default..
