setmode again

[Brian Myers]

Hi all,

Seems this gets revisited every so often on the forums, so I guess it's time to visit it again...

I need to set stdout to binary mode in Windows. I've tried the following:

import std.string;
import std.stdio;
import std.c.windows.windows;

extern (C)
alias int function(int,int) setmode_f;

void main(char[][] args)
{
    int O_BINARY = 0x8000;
    setmode_f f;
    HMODULE m = cast(HMODULE) LoadLibraryA(toStringz("msvcrt.dll"));
    f = cast(setmode_f) GetProcAddress(m, toStringz("_setmode"));
    f(fileno(stdout), O_BINARY);

    writef("test line1\r\ntestline2");
}

and

import std.string;
import std.stdio;

extern (C)
alias int function(int,int) setmode_f;

extern ( C ) int setmode(int,int);

void main(char[][] args)
{
    int O_BINARY = 0x8000;

    if (setmode(fileno(stdout) ,O_BINARY) < 0)
        writefln("setmode failed.");
    writef("test line1\r\ntest line2");
}

No luck. Both compile and run without error, but Windows is still doing LF->CRLF translation.

I know I need a version statement for a cross platform compile, but this is just example code.
