printf not printing on console

by

Output is buffered.

stdout is line-buffered by default, which means that ‘\n’ is supposed to flush the buffer. Why is it not happening in your case? I don’t know. I need more info about your application/environment.

However, you can control buffering with setvbuf():

setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IOLBF, 0);

This will force stdout to be line-buffered.

setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0);

This will force stdout to be unbuffered, so you won’t need to use fflush().
Note that it will severely affect application performance if you have lots of prints.
