Dear Alireza (or Alex, don't know which!),

Amongst all the group-given solutions to your problem, the most
portable is to use std::cin. (I presume that you are using C++,
and not C.) Use it this way:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  ...
  cin.get();//The last line of main() body
}

Regards,

Why bother about the most portable single-line solution?

When I develop a console app, I want it to behave as a console app, i.e.
not require some extra input in the end.

I add the system("pause"); command during testing, just to allow the
program to be run from the editor. When I stop compiling with debug, I
don't want the pause anymore.

For a portable solution, the code should try and figure out if it was run
from the command line or from the desktop.

I think that would be some kind of overkill, because few applications will 
need that feature after development.
I'd rather prefer that devcpp creates a console, then runs the app, then 
runs pause and then frees the console. This even could be done by calling a 
batch file using comspec command line.

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

That was my point - it doesn't matter how portable we wait for a key to be
pressed. When we develop a console application, we normally don't want to
leave that code in the release - if a user run a console application from
the command line, they don't want to have to press a key to get back the
command line.

As long as it's just for testing, any whatever code that waits is fine.
And as long as the command works on the environment the IDE is running on,
that is portable enough.
