I have these two functions
void set_dram_channel_width(int channel_width){
printf("one\n");
getchar();
}
void set_dram_transaction_granularity(int cacheline_size){
printf("two\n");
getchar();
}
//output:
one
f //my keyboard input
two
one
f //keyboard input
two
one
f //keyboard input
//No more calls
Then I change the functions to:
void set_dram_channel_width(int channel_width){
printf("one\n");
}
void set_dram_transaction_granularity(int cacheline_size){
printf("two\n");
getchar();
}
//output
one
two
f //keyboard input
//No more calls
Both functions are called by an external code, the code for both programs is the same, just changing the getchar() I get those two different outputs. Is this possible or there is something that is really wrong in my code?
Thanks
This is the output I get with GDB**
