WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.
Method 1
Create a buffer for the stdout pointer and for the stderr pointer. Therefore, the application does not call the _write() function byte by byte. For example, you can use the following sample code to create a buffer for the stdout pointer.
char* ret = setlocale(LC_ALL, "Japanese"); setvbuf(stdout, NULL,_IOFBF, SIZE); std::cout << "?" << std::endl;
Method 2
Call the setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") function before you use the std::cout command. For example, use the following sample code to call the setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") function.
char* ret = setlocale(LC_ALL, "C"); std::cout << "?" << std::endl; setlocale(LC_ALL,ret);
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
