Thread: Java-style println() in C

Hi,

I've been trying to create a java-style System.out.println() function in C, so that I don't have to keep writing \n at the end of every printf(), which I also keep forgetting...

I've read this thread about it:
Writing Println code
Where you concluded it not to be possible in C.
It is.

You just have to use a macro to do it:

Code:

#define println(fmt, args...) ({\
    int __a = printf(fmt,args);\
    printf("\n");\
    ++__a;\
})

It's consistent with printf() in the way that the return value is the number of total characters printed.

Hope it's helpful to others who want to do this.
