Carolina, Chapel Hill Lines: 9 I'm beginning to play with c++ and would like to get an idea of how one debugs in this language. I do mostly graphics programming and often spend a lot of time in dbxtool (a dream of a tool running on the Suns that sits on top of unix dbx). The ability to move around in a highly localized region of my code twiddling values, printing values, and watching the effect on an rgb image on a monitor is *highly* desirable. Any tips, rules of thumb, war stories, etc. would be great. I'd be happy to post the accumulated responses for the benefit of others. Thanks.
