Running into a problem on Windows. This code
std::string randomStuff;
std::getline(std::cin, randomStuff);
works on unix, but on windows, it requires the user to hit the enter
key *twice* before it continues past the getline. I tried changing the
getline to
std::getline(std::cin, randomStuff, '\n');
but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Please post a complete and minimal program that demonstrates your
problem. For what it's worth, this program works fine on my system
(Windows XP SP2, compiled with VS .NET 2003 SP1):
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Enter some text:\n";
std::string randomStuff;
std::getline(std::cin, randomStuff);
std::cout << "\nYou entered:\n\"" << randomStuff << "\"\n";
}

I don't believe you. It is something else you haven't shown us that
causes your problem.
This issue is covered in Marshall Cline's C++ FAQ. See the topic
"[5.8] How do I post a question about code that doesn't work
correctly?". It is always good to check the FAQ before posting.

He might be right, if he's using an unpatched V6. See: http://www.dinkumware.com/vc_fixes.html

This sounds very likely. We are using VC6. Will investigate further.

If you are still using VC6 run, don't walk, to the nearest computer store
and pick up a newer compiler (or download a free version).
I used to use VC6 and it just has so many problems because I understand it
preceeded the current standard.

Unfortunately, this is the "official compiler" for our product at work.
Companies I work at seem to get frozen on old compilers because they
are scared of upgrading and having to regression test. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
