Oh, and did we address all the annoyances of debugging gcc when it's

Probably, if you can refrain from using some "advance" C++
features(namespace, template, etc.),  you will not have such
annoyances.


To me namespaces are fundamental in terms of the advantages that
moving to C++ can give in a large project, I would never regard
them as some "advanced" feature to be avoided. If namespaces
cause trouble for the debugger, that's surprising and problematic!
