Printing binary data in embedded C

[Perry Cheng <perryche at us dot ibm dot com>]

I've been trying to convert some of my existing scripts from printing 
ascii data to binary data to improve probe speed.  I've stated using the 
%b modifier via _stp_printf with success.  However, my data naturally 
comes in as a char[] of known length and printing it one word at a time 
with %4b doesn't seem like the best way.  On the other hand, I can't use a 
bulk function like _stp_print since it interprets the buffer as a C string 
and will misinterpret my binary 0's as a string terminator.  Looking at 
the implementation of _stp_print, it's clear that this is an easy feature 
to add. 

Is there an existing function that I have missed or is there a simple 
workaround?  If not, how fragile is it for me to clone _stp_print and then 
replace the call to strlen with the my buffer length?


Thanks,
