Redirection of output in CLI doesn't work

[Samuel-DEVULDER]

Consider that piece of code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int ac, char **av)
{
    printf("Hello world\n");
    return 0;
}

Compile with: m68k-amigaos-gcc tst.c -o tst -noixemul

And launch it in an amiga CLI like this:

CLI> tst >ram:output
Hello world
CLI> list ram:output
Directory "ram:" on Saturday 13-Jul-19
output                     empty ----rwed Today     22:51:35
1 file - 2 blocks used
CLI>

Obviously the redirection to ram:output didn't work. The text is printed onto the console and though the redirection file is created, it remains empty.

for stdout Output() from the dos.library is used. No idea what should be used instead.

With the version from amiga-gcc I build ~1yr ago (possibly gcc 6.4.1b or 6.4.0b... I don't remember) redirection was working.

I wonder if startup-code does, by chance, now reopen stdio: hence close the redirection and redirect everything onto the console since gcc 6.5.0.

Browsing https://github.com/bebbo/libnix/blob/master/sources/nix20/stdio/__initstdio.c, I've spotted stomething strange in function

static StdFileDes * stdfiledes(BPTR fh) {
    StdFileDes *sfd = (StdFileDes *) malloc(sizeof(StdFileDes));
    if (sfd) {
        __stdfiledes[__stdfilesize] = sfd;
        sfd->lx_pos = __stdfilesize++;
        sfd->lx_fh = Input(); /// <=== HERE
        sfd->lx_oflags = O_WRONLY;
        _setup_file(sfd);
        sfd->lx_flags |= LX_SYS;
    }
    return sfd;
}

The passed argument is not used, and it is Input() which is used instead. Does this explain the issue ?

good one - thanks :-)
