I've downloaded the Intel Cilk++ SDK for Windows (http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-intel-cilk-sdk) and I am exploring the examples. The qsort example imported into MS Visual Studio and compiles there fine (as a Release build) and runs from VS (Ctlr-F5): the example opens a console window and the program runs, producing output. However, when I startqsort.exe from shell window in GNU Emacs (outside of VS) I get no output:

C:\dev\cilk\qsort\Release> If I time the command, it only consumes 0m0.133s not the 1+ seconds I get when run in VS. My bash shell reports a return code of 53. qsort.exe does work if I run it from a fresh CMD window (Start > Run > CMD): C:\dev\cilk\qsort\Release>qsort
Sorting 10000000 integers
1.391 seconds
Sort succeeded.

C:\dev\cilk\qsort\Release> It only fails inside GNU Emacs. If I create a basic (non-Cilk) Hello World Windows32 console app in VS using iostream and std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl; this runs correctly inside a GNU Emacs shell. Is there something different about how Cilk programs use iostream or link with other libraries that can account for the difference? (Sorry if there is a better Forum name - point me to one and I'll post there, but I could not find a forum specifically for Intel Cilk++) thanks
