[Dev-C++] delay function

[Chris B. <ch...@cb...>]

Hello,

Does anyone know a way around this problem:

I have written a function that delays for secs amount of seconds:


#include <ctime>

void pause(int secs)
{
 time_t current, end;

 current =3D clock();
 end =3D current + CLOCKS_PER_SEC * sec;

 while(current < end)
  current =3D clock();
}


The problem is when I try to use it as follows:

int main()
{
 int t =3D 10;

 cout << "Count down: ";

 while(t >=3D 0)
 {
  cout << t-- << "  \r";
  pause(1);
 }

 return 0;
}

The program executes but doesn't displa the count down numbers until the =
time is up - then it just displays 10.

The program works fine though if I use printf() instead of cout! Why is =
this - I want it to work with cout! Is is something to do with buffers?

Thanx in advance.

Chris.
