Re: [isocpp-lib-ext] LEWG(I) Weekly review - P2549R0: Should the output of std::print to a terminal be synchronized with the underlying stream?

Yes, you're right, thank you Mark & Barry. Sorry again about that typo, the
correction was lost in the thread.
Re-adding the mid-discussion data so that we'll have everyone on the same
page:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's* reopen this review with the new revision, R1*, proposing
wording for* synchronizing std::print with
the underlying stream:*

P2539R1: Should the output of std::print to a terminal be synchronized with
the underlying stream? (wg21.link/P2539 <http://wg21.link/P2539r1>)
by: Victor Zverovich

*Please vote +1 for supporting moving this change forward for C++23.*

***

*From the Discussion:*
To prevent mojibake std::print may use a native Unicode API when writing to
a terminal bypassing the stream buffer. During the review of [P2093]
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p2539r0.html#biblio-p2093>
"Formatted
output" Tim Song suggested that synchronizing std::print with the
underlying stream may be beneficial for gradual adoption.

*Some meta data:*

   - *Bottom Line: *Although the issue appears to be mostly theoretical, it
   might still be beneficial to clarify in the standard that synchronization
   is desired. Neither {fmt} ([FMT]) nor Rust ([RUST-STDIO]) do such
   synchronization in their implementations of print.
   - To indicate your opinion on whether a change is needed (reasoning is,
   of course, welcome):
      - If you support the status quo (no change): please response with *"No
      Change"*
      - If you support making the change *for C++23* (synchronize the
      output with the underlying steam): please response* "+1"*

***

*Weekly reviews improve quality!*
Running weekly reviews allows more iterations on each proposal, which
hopefully, in turn, will result in more accurate and subtle fixes.

Thank you for taking the time to review the proposal,
and have a great week!

Inbal Levi
