C++ String not displaying in console

I'm trying to compile an application that uses a string but I don't get the expected result and I receive no error from the compiler. It only happens when I create a string, so if I remove the line that creates a string and cout plain text it works correctly.

The code is as follows:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::string myString = "Hello, this is a string";
    std::cout << myString;
    return 0;
}

I then run g++ test.cpp -o test and then ./test.exe and nothing displays on the screen, it just hangs when I expected "Hello, this is a string" to appear. What am I doing wrong..?

Edit: I've disabled avast and the problem still persists.

Try following `std::cout << myString << std::endl; – tchelidze Jan 10 '16 at 20:33

@tchelidze: flushing the console streams is unnecessary, they are auto-flushed – Armen Tsirunyan Jan 10 '16 at 20:34

"C++ String not compiling" - don't lie in the title. – LogicStuff Jan 10 '16 at 20:35
> `g++ test.cpp -o test` and then `./test.exe` -- why not just `./test`? Or are you running under Windows and I don't know the details of how `g++` works under this platform? – Oleg Andriyanov Jan 10 '16 at 20:37
@ArmenTsirunyan when is buffer auto-flushed ? – tchelidze Jan 10 '16 at 20:37
