How can I see cout output in a non-console application?

Question

It seems rather tedious to output to debug window. Where can I find cout output if I am writing a non-console information ?

Like:

double          


        

Answer 1

For a Windows solution, you can allocate a console, and bind cout/cin to it. For example:

AllocConsole();
freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stdout);
freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stderr);
