We call setvbuf this place, because it is a place "before any other operation is performed". See the doc below: "The setvbuf() function may be used after the stream pointed to by stream is associated with an open file but before any other operation (other than an unsuccessful call to setvbuf()) is performed on the stream." It is not the first time this patch show up here. Daniel posted it http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-06/msg00433.html and Joel preferred it as the exact same piece of code is in their tree as well http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-06/msg00434.html Eli wanted to check this patch didn't interfere with Emacs 23 GDB interface on Windows, which is probably the last question to this patch. The discussion stopped there. I build native mingw32 gdb with buffering disabled, and use it with Emacs 24.3 in Windows cmd.exe. Emacs+GDB behave correctly. Is it OK? gdb: 2013-07-22 Joseph Myers * main.c (captured_main): Set stdout and stderr unbuffered on Windows. --- gdb/main.c | 7 +++++++ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/gdb/main.c b/gdb/main.c index 440094e..7529dc5 100644 --- a/gdb/main.c +++ b/gdb/main.c @@ -375,6 +375,13 @@ captured_main (void *data) saved_command_line[0] = '\0'; instream = stdin; +#ifdef _WIN32 + /* A Cygwin ssh session may not look like a terminal to the Windows + runtime; ensure unbuffered output. */ + setvbuf (stdout, NULL, _IONBF, BUFSIZ); + setvbuf (stderr, NULL, _IONBF, BUFSIZ); +#endif + gdb_stdout = stdio_fileopen (stdout); gdb_stderr = stdio_fileopen (stderr); gdb_stdlog = gdb_stderr; /* for moment */ -- 1.7.7.6
