I have given up on reading debugger manuals because we have too many
platforms. Here is my secret weapon for debugging extensions:

#include <iostream>
#define CheckPoint std::cout << __FILE__ << "(" << __LINE__ << ")" << std::endl

<< std::flush

Keep inserting

CheckPoint;

in your code to narrow down the problem.
