#84761 - Calling printf from an ISR
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Calling printf from an ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) is definitely a Bad Idea! - especially if you call it from elsewhere in your code!!

printf is not reentrant - so calling it from an ISR could well end up with data corruption and all sorts of garbled output!

printf it is also a very large function and, therefore, likely to take a long time to execute - not generally Good Things in an ISR.
