205 This exists because there is no real line-buffering on Windows, see
206 <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/86cebhfs%28v=vs.71%29.aspx>
207 so the stdout is either fully-buffered or non-buffered. We can't
208 make stdout non-buffered, because of two concerns:
210 1. Non-buffering hurts performance.
211 2. Non-buffering may change GDB's behavior when it is interacting
212 with a front-end, such as Emacs.
214 We leave stdout as fully buffered, but flush it first when
215 something is written to stderr.
217 Note that the 'write_async_safe' method is not overridden, because
218 there's no way to flush a stream in an async-safe manner.
219 Fortunately, it doesn't really matter, because:
221 1. That method is only used for printing internal debug output
222 from signal handlers.
224 2. Windows hosts don't have a concept of async-safeness. Signal
225 handlers run in a separate thread, so they can call the regular
226 non-async-safe output routines freely.
