[ECOS] Problem with printf

["Sidharth Jandhyala" <sidharth at clarinox dot com>]

Hi,

I am having a peculiar problem with printf. I noticed that a newline '\n'
must be placed at the end of each printf statement to work. How do I get
around this problem? Here is s sample code

I am using the eb40A board and debugging using arm-elf-insight.


//---------------------------------------------------------

#   include <cyg/kernel/kapi.h>
#   include <stdio.h>
#   include <stdlib.h>

int main (int agrc, char * argv[])
{
        printf("1.HEllo world..........\n");
        printf("\n2.Hello world again");
        printf("3.Hello world again");

}  //End main

//---------------------------------------------------------

The output is 

//---------------------------------------------------------

  1.HEllo world..........

//---------------------------------------------------------

Why has eCos been implemented such that the '\n' must be included at the end
of the printf statement. Is there a way to avoid this characteristic. Is
there a way to flush the print buffers other than looking for the '\n'. 

Thanks in advance.


Regards,


Sidharth
