How about writing your diagnostic statements "thusly":

	DEBUG (("informative message #1: j = %d, k = %d", j, k));
		/* note extra parens surrounding normal printf parameters */

To enable debugging statements:

	#define	DEBUG(x)	printf x

To disable:

	#define	DEBUG(x)

Lint note:  you should define debug on when you run this through lint.
