They aren't the same thing so the comparison is weird.
endl
has a flush
which is important when doing something like embedded work or RTOS development. If i was doing multiple lines they all were \n
until the last line when i actually want to push the buffer.
Obviously depending on the tuning of the compiler's optimization multiple flushes could be reduced but the goal should always be to write as optimal as possible.
but the goal should always be to write as optimal as possible.
Within reason.
Over optimization is a curse on getting done.
Who in the hell is using iostreams in an RTOS
Sometimes you work in a codebase that was decided on by others for reasons you don't know.
Several. Probably dozens
\n, because I ordered a newline, not a flush.
#define endl "\n"
If I'm writing C++, I'm usually optimizing for portability over performance, in which case I would prefer std::endl as it would yield the best results regardless of platform; it also keeps the end-of-line character out of other strings, making code just a little cleaner.
\n is for when I'm done pretending that anything that isn't Unix-like is OK, or I'm counting the cycles of every branch instruction.
std::endl provides zero portability benefits. C++ does have a portable newline abstraction, but it is called \n
, not endl.
Thank you two for demonstrating the image in the post so well.
No, there's no guarantee that in every context \n is translated portably.
Well, Java has System.lineSeparator so, maybe no?
Environment.NewLine might exist in C#
It might do. I encountered it last week as I needed it for a powershell script. So it exists in that at least
Microsoft really creating the problem and then forcing you to use their solution.
Endl is faster to type
What the heck is endl???
std::endl
is used in output streams in C++ to end the line, using the os specific line termination sequence, and flush the buffer.
The later one is a performance issue in many cases, why the use of "\n"
is considered preferred
Don’t most terminals flush the buffer on newline anyway?
Instead of this:
C++
cout << "Hello world.\n";
You can do this:
C++
cout << "Hello world." << endl;
The fact that you used the namespace for cout
but not for endl
inordinately bothers me
something has replaced your lessthan signs with their HTML counterparts. such a silly thing to do in a code block

(I'm a cppref lover tbh)
Boy am I glad I don’t do C++ anymore. That string handling with the overloaded bitshift operator was wild.
From memory it's a way to declare a line ending after your string.
God bless your soul.
os.linesep
Lol jk none of my stuff runs on Windows anyway
Environment.NewLine()
/* I'm new to this language so just imagine there is a new line here when it prints: */
\r\n gang
Are you a modem by any chance?
No, I'm a teapot
Get out
Yeah \r
gang4lyfe
vbCrLf
I'm on side \PHP_EOL
Rebel side \0
\r\n
If you write to a text (as opposed to binary) stream, \n produces \n or \r\n (or \r if old enough) depending on platform just fine.
Nobody should be using C++ anyway, but plenty of languages have silly system newline constants, which do nothing useful.
Why should no one be using c++?
It's memory unsafe and it's syntax is indistinguishable from the runes which summon cthulu.
