cout

[Stirfie]

Is there a way to use cout<< or something like it without including iostream. I have a simple app with one cout statement and no inputs. The file is 5k without iostream included, but 260k with it. Regards Paul

use printf();

...but you have to #include stdio... :D

But the two requirements were "...to use cout<< or something like it without including iostream." Using printf() and including stdio.h satisfy both of those requirements.

Try this, if you are using Win API only: INT CDECL ConPrintf (LPCTSTR lpszFormat, ...) { TCHAR szBuffer[1024]; INT iRet; DWORD cbWritten; HANDLE hStdOut = NULL; va_list va; va_start (va, lpszFormat); iRet = wvsprintf (szBuffer, lpszFormat, va); va_end (va); hStdOut = GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); WriteConsole (hStdOut, szBuffer, iRet * sizeof (TCHAR), &cbWritten, NULL); return iRet; } Usage is identical to wsprintf, but it writes to console output.
