Is there a way to access the counter used to give tag offsets for debug  
purposes without using tags? I’d like to be able to print item number  
when  
I’m not using tags.

Maybe something like this?  
for(int i=0;i\<noutput\_items;i++){  
current\_item = nitems\_read() + i;  
}

I’m hoping to access the built-in method to avoid something like that,  
because the code I’m modifying makes counting it myself tricky.
