I've solved the problem now - it wasn't a problem with C++ at all,
really - it's just that I had called my C++ program 'rotate.cpp',
whereas unix-style programs like gcc expect 'rotate.cc'. So Ladybug
was instructed by gcc to look for rotate.cc, and didn't find it. So I
got no source code in my disassembly.

However, as far as I can see, Ladybug doesn't specifically support
C++, so it won't let you view class structures, etc. But its current
functionality is enough for me for now.
