sending EOF to stdin in Clion IDE

Question

Is there a way to send EOF to stdin when running a c program in Clion IDE? I tried ctrl+D - it simply shuts the program down. Ctrl+Z doesn't work either. Any ideas?

BTW - I'm using it on a Windows 10 OS.

In Windows, Ctrl-Z must be the first keystroke after a newline. Don't know about Clion. – Fibriform

Did you find your answer by any chance, I found out about this the hard way :( no solution yet. – Rely

So the console where the output shows, on linux a CTRL+ D results in a SIGHUP and terminates the program however, if I open the Terminal and run the program it all works – Rely

In CLion on MacOS, cmd+D sends EOF and ctrl+D runs the code in Debug. – Fjeld

Answer 1

ctrl+D does the job, however there is a known problem, to avoid it disable option run.processes.with.pty in Registry (Find Action > Registry).

Type in ^ on a newline, in the console after your input, I found it does the trick.

That worked for me aswell, Ubuntu inside VMware – Winther

to clarify, ^ followed by newline works for me (using Debian). For more info, see "Caret notation" on wikipedia – Jaclynjaco

Answer 3

Another option is to run the program from command line, and attach to it from CLion. In that case, you'll have your native shell.

It's detailed at https://blog.jetbrains.com/clion/2016/01/attach-to-local-process/

The process is very simple - after running the program from command line, choose Run->Attach to Local Process...

And choose your program from the list. You can type in the search field.

An easy fix which worked for me was to go to "Run"->"Edit Configurations" and check "Run in external console".
