Re: getch() waits even nodelay is set

[Fangtu Qiu]

Hi, Thomas,

The problem appears after I upgraded my linux to RedHat 7.3 from RedHat 
7.2. If you only have 7.2, you may not be able to see the problem.

The following code will wait if compiled with g++. It won't wait if 
compiled by gcc.

=====  cut here =====

#include <curses.h>

int main()
{
        WINDOW * pwin = initscr();
        nodelay(pwin, TRUE);
        getch();
        endwin();
}

===== cut here =====

Regards,

Fangtu Qiu
