The not-so-nice thing about debugging non-debug native code is that most of the
context remaining in the PDBs is nearly useless due to the optimizing that most
modern compilers do. The debuggers generally can't keep up. That's why a debug
build is about the only way to use a debugger to understand the program logic
in unfamiliar code.
Makes things really nice when the bug only surfaces in release builds <smile/>
