[Openocd-development] tcl echo and puts question

[Spencer O. <sp...@sp...>]

Hi,

Just a query regarding the behaviour of puts and echo and stdout.
When using the telnet/gdb interfaces all is as expected.

If i use the following the string is output to stdout as expected.
echo "Hello World"
in this case the linefeed is appended before the string is output.

However if i use:
puts "Hello World"
Nothing is shown on stdout as the linefeed is sent as a separate 
operation after the string is output.

The underlying output function (log_puts) only outputs to stdout if 
terminated by a linefeed.
As you would expect the following works:
puts "Hello World\n"

Is this by design, or a bug?

Øyvind is probably the tcl man to answer this question :)

Cheers
Spen
