Does not seem so. In fact, it does not seem like -stack-list-locals support if either ;-). Both take an integer parameter though, passing '2' for it should cause only simple values to be printed. > - how long has this feature been around? Which? Printing types? I believe it was around for approximately -1 day. However, please be advised that parsing types is very bad idea. - Volodya
