I have 2 different ostreams, one of them is cerr, using the same streambuffer, I have several libraries that could modify cerr somehow (modifiers format flags?).
cerr.rdbuf(&mystreambuffer);
ostream teststream(&mystreambuffer);
cerr << "This " << " is " << " a " << " test";
teststream << "This " << " is " << " a teststream " << " test";
prints:
This
is
a
test
This is a teststream test
Debugging mystreambufferI noticed that cerr calls mystreambuffer->sync()every operation <<, while the test thread doesn't call it at all.
If Iโm right, cerritโs just a standard stream, then why do I see this difference during flushing? How can I reset cerr to return to normal flushing operation?
EDIT: I see that you guys are commenting on unitbuf and it is used by default in cerr, but if it was by default, could it also write step by step here?
#include <iostream>
int main(){
std::cerr << "This " << " is " << " a cerr " << " test\n";
std::cout << "This " << " is " << " a cout " << " test\n";
}
Cobain /tmp$ ./test
This is a cerr test
This is a cout test
