(passed on from someone else who I asked about this...)

The ios::unitbuf flag controls the buffering. By default, this flag
is set for the cerr stream and causes the output buffer to be flushed
after each write operation. The manipulator "nounitbuf" clears the
ios::unitbuf flag:

cerr << nounitbuf;
cerr << "This is the " << n << " number of " << " times." << endl;

results in:
This is the 10 number of times.

(and even more info from another someone else...)

....but if they are still using the older version of the C++ library,
the nounitbuf() function does not exist and the unsetf() function must
be used.

Here are a couple of additional examples that may be useful.

The code to turn off the flag is different depending upon which
version of the streams code is being used. If the code is using
, the following should work:

#include

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int n = 10;

cerr.unsetf( ios::unitbuf );
cerr << "This is the " << n << " number of " << "times." << endl;
}

If the code is using , the following should work:

#include

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int n = 10;

std::cerr.unsetf( std::ios_base::unitbuf );
std::cerr << "This is the " << n << " number of " << "times." <<
std::endl;
}

All of this is GOLD, thanks so much.
