This is probably as good a place as any I suspect.

You'll likely want to write the debug info to standard error and capture.

Here's how I do it in C so that I can track where the data was spit out:

(void)fprintf(stderr, "%s %d: %s\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, debugdata);

Then when you run your program, do this:

program 2> program.err
