Since the previous reply I have also learned another way which could really help you out with printing local variables. Find it here: http://dprobes.sourceforge.net The much more powerful cousin which works on top of KProbes. You can pretty much log any variable's value at runtime using what DProbes calls "probe expressions". From the dpcc (DProbes C Compiler) man page: "'probe expressions' refer to static strings in the dprobes C program that will be evaluated relative to the program being debugged when the probe fires. Another way to think about probe expressions is that the result of evaluating a probe expression is pretty much the same thing you'd get if you'd typed the expression at the command prompt of the gdb debugger after hitting a breakpoint." That gets you your local variables easily as well I guess!!
