: I've solved the problem now - it wasn't a problem with C++ at all,

: functionality is enough for me for now.

Hmmm, well I never liked the look of Ladybug but perhaps its better in
a later version.  The last version I saw showed me source, but didn't seem
to do any mapping of what instruction belonged to which source line.

In the mean-time does anybody have answers to my original questions:

(i) Will V2.0 support stabs format

(ii) If not, how difficult would it be for me to add it ?
