[Dev-C++] Bloodshed - console problem

[Theo B. <th...@uu...>]

Hi all,

Could someone possibly tell me why my console window does not stay open once
I have successfully compiled and run a program. Even a program with one
command printing some test to the screen wont work, it just does not stay
open.

Has anyone had this problem with Bloodshed?

Thanks

Theo

The window closes because the program finished and exited. You should add a
line like

    system("PAUSE");

at the end of your program, and the window will stay open until you press
any key.

per, easy on the newbie. :D

seriously, if you're coming in from a visual c++
background, dev-c++ can be very annoying when it comes
to console applications staying open. you can add a
system("pause") call at the end of your program, but
it won't work for some cases (eg destructors getting
called @ the end of main()). so you can do what visual
c++ does - run your program from a batch file which
contains your program name, then a call to pause, or
generally open a console window, and manually run your program.
