Re: [OT] C++ templates and debugging (limitations) in Linux

[Robert Baron <robertbartlettbaron@gmail.com>]

When I have developed template code, I have always started by implementing
the same algorithms without the templates.  Once the non-template code works
and is debugged, I convert it to the template.  I have just found using real
types is more convenient to think about, and to debug.

gdb can be slightly confusing if you don't use it all of the time, however,
there are gui interfaces for it.  Logging statements, as well as, sending 
debugging statements to stderr, stdout or to a file can also be useful.

Very interesting. I think I will take a look see at log4cxx.

Thanks.
