This article was previously published under Q101185 SUMMARY The standard output stream (cout) can be used in an
application or Dynamic- Link Library (DLL) to display information. When using
cout in an application and a DLL simultaneously, special care is needed to
ensure that the text display is synchronized. Because the cout text
stream is buffered, text from a DLL may not appear correct relative to text
from the application. To correct this problem, always use the endl manipulator
when outputting text with cout. Below is an example:
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
The endl manipulator inserts a newline character and then flushes the
stream buffer. This ensures that text displayed from the application and DLL is
synchronized.
