Please explain.
The solution that consist in flushing at first use is a
surprising behavior, and look more like a weird hack than a
solution.
The solution that consist into flushing in main at the end of the
program is problematic as well. At this point, from programmer
perspective, the program ran fun and is terminated successfully.
Still the whole stuff will explode under its feet, in the
runtime. That isn't something we should promote.
