print! does not work after shutdown if no previous print occurred

[joboet]

I tried this code:

fn main() {
    extern "C" fn bye() {
        print!("hello, world!");
    }
    unsafe { libc::atexit(bye) };
}

I expected to see this happen:

The code should print "hello, world!", which it does if any print statement occurred before it (see the test).

Instead, this happened:

Nothing is printed to standard output.

The bug is in the cleanup function that disables buffering during shutdown:

rust/library/std/src/io/stdio.rs

Lines 613 to 625 in 9208625

	pub fn cleanup() {
	if let Some(instance) = STDOUT.get() {
	// Flush the data and disable buffering during shutdown
	// by replacing the line writer by one with zero
	// buffering capacity.
	// We use try_lock() instead of lock(), because someone
	// might have leaked a StdoutLock, which would
	// otherwise cause a deadlock here.
	if let Some(lock) = Pin::static_ref(instance).try_lock() {
	*lock.borrow_mut() = LineWriter::with_capacity(0, stdout_raw());
	}
	}
	}

If the buffer has not been initialized yet, that will not occur, so the print statement will initialize the buffer in the normal fashion and it will not be flushed.
