    Compiler Question

    I have a question its more of a curiosity thing really. When I compile the code below and make an exe the program works differently depending on the compiler I use. Yet the code is exactly the same. Anyone know why?

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main() {
    
    	string y;
    
    	getline(cin,y);
    
    	cout << y;
    
    	return 0;
    }
    When I compile that with VC++, it prompts me to enter a value. After I type whatever in and press enter, I have to press Enter once again for the cout statement to work.

    But when compiled in Dev C++ , it works properly and the cout statement executes as soon as I hit enter. Any idea why they work differently if its the same exact code?

    VC++ has a bug in getline that requires you to hit return twice.

    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.
