hpx::cout output does not appear on screen

[eschnett]

After replacing std::cout with hpx::cout, and using

#include <hpx/include/iostreams.hpp>

no output is shown on the screen. For example, the line

 hpx::cout << "Done.\n";

produces no output.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to add "<< hpx::flush" to the cout line? (Shouldn't there be an implied flush?)

Why does the include file path have "include" in it? Am I using the right include path?

Is there documentation somewhere that describes all HPX functions, and which include files one needs for them? I'm having a hard time finding out include paths and namespace prefixes (such as e.g. hpx::threads::thread_id_type, where hpx::thread_id_type doesn't work).

We have some documentation of the API, but by far not all is described yet. Your best bet is to start with the index: http://stellar.cct.lsu.edu/files/hpx_0.9.6/html/index/s05.html

Yes, you need to use hpx::flush in order to send the buffers to the console. There should be an implicit flush at program termination. I added this as a feature request to #190.

There is no particular reason, it is a convention we adopted from other libraries we wrote in the past where foo/include holds forwarding headers to the actual library headers.

I'll close this as a duplicate of #190
