[LI] C Programming problem

[Mrinal Kalakrishnan <mrinal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This particular piece of code behaves differently when compiled with gcc
(Linux), when compared to Turbo C or DJGPP (in DOS).

	#include <stdio.h>

	void main()
	{
		printf("Loading..");
		float i,j;
		j=12345.6789;
		for (i=0.0;i<50000.0;i+=0.01) j=j*j;
		printf("Done\n");
	}

The expected behaviour would be that "Loading" gets printed, then a delay, and
then "Done" gets printed. But, that doesn't happen. Instead, there is a long
delay initially, then "loading" and "done" get printed immediately one after
the other. However, if I add a newline in the "Loading" string, then it gets
printed immediately, followed by the delay.

Anybody faced this problem before - any solutions?
