I call by : `./executable --param p1 > a`. But execution hangs
immediately. If I do `./executable --param p1 ` no issue.
What am I doing wrong?
thank you.
Are you expecting input as well as sending output?
A common behavior difference between console streams and file
streams (including in D) is that when the library detects it's
sending to a console, it flushes buffered output after every
newline. When it's sending to a file (or other stream type), it
only sends output when the buffer is full (usually about 4k
bytes).
The hang sounds like it has buffered up its output ready to
send, and then is waiting for input to continue.

Hi
Thank you for pointing this out.
Indeed, much later in the code, there is a `readln()`.
But, the program needs to run 1-2 minutes, until it reaches that
point - it is doing a complex AI calculation.
However, for these 1-2 minutes, there is no output. Not via
`tee`command, also not when i do a `tail -f a` (`a` is the
logfile as in my last mail). I expect the output of these 1-2
minutes, until the `readln` point to be visible via either of
these to methods.
Is it still the same case as you describe?
