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.
