Is it safe to disable buffering with stdout and stderr?

Question

Sometimes we put some debug prints in our code this way

printf(\"successfully reached at debug-point 1\\n\"); 

some code is here

printf(\"successfully reached          


        

Answer 1

Uh, well. You're wrong. Precisely for this reason, stderr is not buffered by default.

EDIT: Also, as a general suggestion, try using debugger breakpoints instead of printfs. Makes life much easier.
