I find that quite often I would like to trace the methods that are being
called during execution of a program. Has anybody got a gdb script that
will do this? Presumably it's possible to put a break into something like
objc_msgSend() that will print the object name and method and then continue?

Thanks for any help,

Dave Griffiths
