I am making a server chat application with register log-in system. While running the client code : I first selected to register and then after successful register ,client code promt me for login. Then I login and it worked fine . I have implemented these two things in an if else block in client code . After this I am doing some thing where I met with the one of the most attractive error my C life. Here is my source code in which I have marked the area with error (in end of the main function) and also mentioned the problem there (with code definition of the problem is easy).
I have also post the output after the code.

output- showing blocked state of the code in the end run with while(1) as explained in the problem
The line is not printed because
printf()to standard output is line-buffered by default if standard output is a terminal (block buffered otherwise). Try:or add
after the
printf()statements.(EDIT) However,
fflush(stdout)is not guaranteed to work because implementations are permitted to drop partial lines to stdout (partial means not terminated by\n). To be on the safe (portable) side, always terminate lines written to stdout with\n. See C99 7.19.2 paragraph 2:
