Linux-kernel debug printouts?

Question

Is there a better way to debug printouts in the Linux kernel?

Right now littering the code with:

printk(KERN_DBG \"%s:%d - %s() \", __         


        

Answer 1

If this is for quick debugging, just printk() works well.

If this is for debugging in more production situation, maybe use pr_debug(), so messages can be enabled at runtime.

Regardless, ("%s: xxx", func) is usually enough. These filenames and line numbers will become annoying very soon. This is also why you haven't found any "standard" solution -- because there is none.
