I don't debug on Windows but I have been told that this works:
;; If you are using Emacs and GDB on Windows you will need to flush the buffer
;; explicitly in your program if you want timely display of I/O in Emacs.
;; Alternatively you can make the output stream unbuffered, for example, by
;; using a macro:
;;
;; #ifdef UNBUFFERED
;; setvbuf (stdout, (char *) NULL, _IONBF, 0);
;; #endif
;;
;; and compiling with -DUNBUFFERED while debugging.
I think that if the string to be printed is terminated with \n, this will
also display at the desired time (line buffering?).
