There's not an API for that which I am aware of.
The only thing I can see is something along the lines of printf...
dump_structure("foo ics", foo_instance);
It could parse that string and know that the name is foo, the first element
in the structure is an integer, second is a character, and third is a
string, and print them out accordingly.
But I think what you're trying to do is really better served by GDB.
