Disable SFML Console Outputting

[coolhome]

The title basically says it. I think this would be cool to have. If this is an option already please tell me because somehow I missed it big time.

Thanks,

SFML outputs to std::cerr, and any standard stream can be redirected to whatever you want: a file, nothing, etc.

You can try this:

Code: [Select]

std::cerr.rdbuf(NULL);

If you are using Visual Studio just set the Subsystem to Windows. The Console will disappear.

Thanks! That works I didn't even see it used the error stream.

But I want the console

Would it make sense for SFML should write its errors to its own error stream rather than std::cerr in the future?  The problem with redirecting std::cerr is that it also redirects everything else sent to that stream (e.g. the errors my program prints, or really anything that uses std::cerr) even if I only want to redirect SFML’s errors.

Anyway, just a suggestion.

It makes sense, yes. I was already thinking about doing that in SFML 2
