I also suspected that, however, it was not correct.
while (1) sprintf(buf, "%f\n", a);
has the same problem. :-(

Same program in wsl and MSYS2 works well!
This probably has to do with output buffering, and may happen even without
the >/dev/null since there are no line ends in the output. It may work with
stdbuf -o0 (as in: stdbuf -o0 ./prog.exe >/dev/null) but may cause the program
to run more slowly (each character is sent to the device, when then immediately
discards it). It would seem you're hoping for the internal libraries to
recognize the case of writing to /dev/null ...

Hi Guys
very short.

It's not a machine problem, other PC have same problem.
Same program in wsl and MSYS2 works well!

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Test: ncurses/-demo terminfo/-extra libncurses/-devel/++/w10 6.4-13.20230729 (TEST)
The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:
* ncurses 6.4-13.20230729
* ncurses-demo 6.4-13.20230729
* terminfo 6.4-13.20230729
* terminfo-extra6.4-13.20230729
* libncurses-devel 6.4-13.20230729
* libncurses++w10 6.4-13.20230729
* libncursesw10 6.4-13.20230729
Please test these packages as extensively as possible (especially if you
are a Cygwin package maintainer) as libncursesw10 is used in many
libraries including libreadline and utilities including less, vim,
emacs, most other editors, screen, tmux, mail and web clients, and bash.
Package maintainers should install this test release and rerun checks of
as many libraries and packages depending on libncurses{,++}w10 as
possible.
If no issues are reported in the next few weeks, and no newer release
becomes available, this release will be promoted to current stable.
The ncurses (new curses) library is an emulation of Sys V R 4
curses, and more. It uses terminfo format, supports pads, color,
multiple highlights, forms characters, function key mapping,
and has all the other SVR4 curses enhancements over BSD curses.
For more information see the project home page:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses
As there are multiple components and many changes each release see below

ncurses, terminfo and tic manpages.

- disallow using $TERMINFO or $HOME/.terminfo when tic "-o" option is used
- modify MinGW driver to return KEY_BACKSPACE when an unmodified VK_BACK
virtual key is entered
20230701

- improve checks in convert_string() for corrupt terminfo entry
20230610
- improve manpages discussing file descriptors in low-level functions.
- modify flushinp to use file descriptors in SCREEN, rather than from
TERMINAL, and check if they are for a terminal, like SVr4.
- modify mcprint to use file descriptor in SCREEN, for consistency.
- add xterm+focus to foot+base
- correct definition of Charable() for non-wide ncurses library
20230603

was set
- fix a few warnings from cppcheck, etc.
- correct copy/paste error in nc_access.h
20230424

extended capabilities are processed but the terminal description was
not initialized

20230423

would be passed to tiparm_s, etc.

20230418
- improve checks for limits on privileged execution:
