I got the whole "some" vibe, don't worry. That's why I started with the question: "Who derides.." Point me in their direction. :) I'm with you that printf debugging isn't the happiest of all places to be. MS revved their 360 compiler a bit ago and removed watch points. That definitely cramped my style and required added some more hot printf action. I'm psyched to check out these breakpoint actions in xcode this weekend at home. Yeah man, you’re cool.

And, certainly, it is the only way to do so in many cases. But it does suck that you have to recompile and modify code to do printf debugging and the breakpoint actions generally solve that particular problem quite nicely.

Sweet jesus. I work on video games and printf style logging is crucial. Especially when debugging networked client/server apps where the code maybe have timeout periods for the remote entity. Only a jackass would make a sweeping statement about printfs being bad for debugging. Who derides printfs as a debugging tool? Sweet jesus. I work on video games and printf style logging is crucial.
