OSX Carbon Console???

[Dr. Michael M. Cohen]

How can I printf() or fprintf(stderr,) using the project builder
for OSX Carbon? The debug thingy has a Standard I/O tab, but
receives nothing... Please CC me any info.
Thanks, MMCohen

NSLog() is the standard debugging tool. You can NSLog() any
NSString or anything that coerces into an NSString so.

NSLog(@"got to here in the program")

works.

No. Don't post to groups you don't read. And please don't
multipost to .misc: that group is for things that don't fit
in the other groups of that hierarchy.

There is a bug in the standard output view for Project Builder that
sometimes causes it to not flush when a newline is output. Use
fflush(stdout); or fflush(NULL); explicitly and you should see your
printf() output.

Although people who say they're using Carbon may be reluctant to link in
Cocoa just to get NSLog, eh? Especially when printf's already available
by default.

I posted a response earlier that doesn't seem to have shown up. The key
is going to be calling fflush() on the relevant output buffer-- i.e.
"fflush(stderr)" or "fflush(stdout)".
