296 so the stdout is either fully-buffered or non-buffered. We can't
297 make stdout non-buffered, because of two concerns:
299 1. Non-buffering hurts performance.
300 2. Non-buffering may change GDB's behavior when it is interacting
301 with a front-end, such as Emacs.
303 We leave stdout as fully buffered, but flush it first when
304 something is written to stderr.
306 Note that the 'write_async_safe' method is not overridden, because
307 there's no way to flush a stream in an async-safe manner.
308 Fortunately, it doesn't really matter, because:
310 1. That method is only used for printing internal debug output
311 from signal handlers.
313 2. Windows hosts don't have a concept of async-safeness. Signal
314 handlers run in a separate thread, so they can call the regular
315 non-async-safe output routines freely.
