Visual C++ 2022 cout bug?

[Dave Kreskowiak]

I cannot confirm the bug. Everything works in the order expected. Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.35.32217.1 for x86 on Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.1555)

Thanks. Your Visual C++ and Windows edition is the same as mine. Did you run it a few times? The bug has 50% chance of reproducing when run normally (meaning not debugging).

Its working fine here on Windows 10, VS 17.5.5, so I would suspect the Windows 11 terminal - can you try running it in a cmd.exe window instead?

[Shao Voon Wong]

My c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe is already the new Windows 11 terminal. I am not sure where the old cmd.exe is.

If the Terminal in Windows 11 is the same as the one in 10 then you can configure it to run cmd, Powershell, Linux shell etc.

[Shao Voon Wong]

Thanks for your suggestion. I have configured it to run the normal cmd window by right-clicking the tab area and choosing "Settings" in the pop-up menu and selecting accordingly. The bug is gone.

[Shao Voon Wong]

The bug is gone after I followed Richard's suggestion to run the old cmd console. Thanks for testing.

[Shao Voon Wong]

Using the cmd.exe window, the bug is gone.

Very interesting. What program was it running before your change?

[Shao Voon Wong]

Before my change to the old normal cmd, the new Terminal console has a tabbed interface and was slower than cmd window. I did not change my code. Now it is running fine.

Mine also has a tabbed interface, so I have three tabs: cmd, PowerShell and Linux under WSL. It seems just as fast as anything else. I can only assume there is another interface that is the default in the 11 version. Unfortunately (or maybe not) my PC does not support Windows 11.

[Dave Kreskowiak]

Only about 30 times, and it never happened even once.

I am not familiar with that. Presumably it is the following which one must install specifically, at least in Windows 10? An overview on Windows Terminal | Microsoft Learn[^] So you use that normally? I am curious why do you consider that ideal rather than going directly to either cmd or a linux shell?

[Dave Kreskowiak]

I was using CMD Prompt and Powershell in Terminal with no issues at all, in both Debug and Release builds.

I did not claim it is ideal, it is just another tool that I find useful at times. I run cmd, Powershell and Linux in "normal" windows also.

It looks like nobody is encountering this issue except me. Thanks again. You can stop testing.
