I dont get the strange behavior of gdb when I do step and it goes to printf.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello");
}
The debugging loads libraries I dont get what happens. It writes hundreds of line, I have to ctrl F to find my printf !
What happens and how to prevent this ?
Here is a picture of my terminal

I've been tring to program on VS Code in C for quite a while now but i can't get the output to go in the correct spot.
As you can see in this really short test code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("This is a test \n");
}
,and the adjacent image, the output goes to the debug console and not the output tab, or even the terminal
Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening?
I'm using CGG to compile it
I've recently downlaoded code blocks for mac and for some reason my code compiles with no errors but when I try to run it in terminal to see if it prints it doesn't print anything. This is my code. I have already downloaded x code and my program is able to build in code blocks but print f will not work. Can someone please give a solution to this problem.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello world!\n");
return 0;
}
I ran a 4 line code and it compiled and linked without a hitch, but it refuses to print anything
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(){
char* a = "book";
printf("%s\n", a);
return 0;
}
After compiling it and running the executable, nothing happens.
No error in the code.
Just write getch(); or getchar() before return 0;
to holding the output screen.
getch() or getchar() will hold the ouput screen for getting the user's input.
Works fine for me.
You've tagged this with terminal; if you are running it from the terminal, you should see some output, in my experience.
If you are running from an IDE,
keep the window open using Kapil K.'s answer;
keep the window open using an IDE setting, if there is one; or
find out where your IDE is putting the executable file, and run that from a terminal.
I am having a problem with a program of mine, as I cannot see the output display. Using a Dev C++ compiler to compile my C program, I debug it to see the output. However my program immediately terminates, so I can't see the output properly.
I ended my program with return 0, and Aldo tried getch(), but even with both endings my program terminates quick.
I want to know if my program endings are wrong, and if so what is the correct way to end a program?
you need the window stop to view the output, is it right?
if yes, include this library
#include <stdlib.h>
then add this line at the end of code:
system("PAUSE");
e.g
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
/* do/print some thing*/
system("PAUSE");
}
Today , When i coding, met a question..my Code as follow:
#include<stdlib.h>
void main()
{
system("dir");
getch();
}
The question : The user Screen is nothing..Why ? where is my result?
If you want the output when using system, at least into something you can read in your application, you need to pipe the output:
system("dir > /tmp/output.txt");
FILE *f = fopen("/tmp/output.txt", "r");
char text[1024]; // max sizeof of 1 kb, any more and I'd consider using `malloc()` instead.
fread(text, 1, 1024, f);
printf("%s\n", text);
fclose(f);
There are some problems in your program, at least one of which has already been mentioned.
void main() should be int main(void).
As I recall, the Windows/DOS getch function is declared in <conio.h>; you should have a #include directive for it. Be aware that both <conio.h> and getch are non-standard.
Since main returns int, you should return an int result.
But none of these problems explain the problem you're seeing.
With these changes:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main(void)
{
system("dir");
getch();
return 0;
}
This should work; it should show a directory listing of whatever directory your program runs in (which is determined by TC; I don't know the details).
It's possible that the program is running in an empty directory, which means the dir command wouldn't show any files, but it should still produce some output.
Try commenting out the system() call and adding a printf call (note the added #include <stdio.h>):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("Hello, world\n");
getch();
return 0;
}
This should open a console window, print "Hello, world" in it, and wait for you to type Enter.
If you still don't see any output (either no console window, or a console window with nothing in it), then you have a problem that's not related to the system() call. Most likely the problem has to do with the way you're using Turbo C (I presume that's what "TC" stands for).
The main function in every C program is supposed to return an int you are returning void
Change void to int:
#include<stdlib.h>
int main()
{
system("dir");
getch();
}
When I tested, the dir command ran in my console and printed to standard out.
May be he is the running the program directly in the Turbo C IDE and hence his output is not visible. If he runs the program directly from cmd line it works. I remember you need to run Alt - F5 or some other combination to see the output window in Turbo C++
