[Mingw-users] seeing running code

[Dill, J. <joh...@ui...>]

I am running into a problem with this example code in that when I try to =
run it, I get no output or prompt for input when running it from the =
MSYS command line.  Can someone explain what the problem is?  I find =
that if I run it in gdb, I can see the output and put in input fine, but =
not from the command line itself, possibly from the fact that gdb opens =
up another window?  Thanks.

Example Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <string.h>

typedef struct alarm_tag {
  int seconds;
  char message[64];
} my_alarm_t;

int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
  char line[128];
  my_alarm_t* alarm;

  while (1)
  {
    printf ("Alarm> ");
    if ( fgets ( line, sizeof (line), stdin ) =3D=3D 0 ) exit (0);
    if ( strlen (line) <=3D 1 ) continue;
    alarm =3D (my_alarm_t*)malloc (sizeof(my_alarm_t));

    if ( sscanf ( line, "%d %64[^\n]", &alarm->seconds, alarm->message ) =
< 2 ) {
      fprintf (stderr, "Bad Command\n");
      free (alarm);
    }
    else {
      printf ("(%d) %s\n", alarm->seconds, alarm->message);
      free (alarm);
    }
  }
}
