Yes, chout.flush() hangs for a while, and then reports bus error. "\n" seems to flush, but for the VT100 terminal 2D display I mentioned before I want to avoid unnecessary newlines.<br><br></blockquote><div><br>
Yeah, under the current conditions chout is a bit hard to work with. At least we caught and pinpointed the issue quite quickly.<br><br>It would also be nice if we could try to get OS-independent coloured printing. This would be useful when our program regularly prints notifications but sometimes needs special attention that's not severe enough to be cause for a me.exit() (for example when it doesn't find the expected MIDI device, when running out of voices, when recording, etc).<br>
<br>Right now we can do coloured printing in various ways depending on the OS (with Windows being the odd one out) as this needs system calls. It would be nice if we could abstract the differences away for convenience and compatibility. I feel that anything that depends on the OS of the user that might be needed in normal ChucKage (if such a thing exists...) is a bad thing. Even the Mac-only graphical interface elements lead to confusion in new users on the forum. On top of that system calls are expensive.<br>
<br>I'm not at all sure how realistic this is as a wishlist item though.<br><br>Kas.<br></div></div>
