7923 :: Prompt issue with stdout.write

  Hey guys, I have a small problem.

  On one of my gnu/linux distro (Arch Bang) after compilation of code there's no prompt to enter a name but application waits to enter something (which should be later). I've installed even readline, but it was still the same. when echo is used as a prompt it works fine - but with newline Code and output:

  On another distro if works fine. Any ideas is it possible to fix it?

  Thank you,

  Are you compiling with nim c -r or nim r ?

  You must call strout.flushFile

  Thank you for your quick answer. Indeed now it works. But I'm not sure why here it was necessary and on other distro it wasn't. Any ideas?

  I can imagine that It could have something to do with buffer settings (maybe terminal, and or c library.) But I do not know exactly (and also would not rely on these behavior/settings).
