I've been looking at Sabre C++ and ObjectWorks lately and have talked
to users of both.  From a purely debugging perspective I would have to
lean towards Sabre, although I hate the costs associated with its
interpreter.  The big feature that Sabre has that ObjectWorks doesn't
is the ability to evaluate expressions during a debug session, such
as 'print x.foo(1, 2)'.  And you don't need an full-blown interpreter
to do this: dbx, gdb, Turbo Debugger, and Codeview can all evaluate
expressions.
As far as cooperative programming goes, I don't think either package
provides any explicit support.  You'll have to look elsewhere.
