I am using g++ for a small scale project right now, and am trying 
to isolate a particularly annoying bug.  As far as I can tell, gdb
is about the only debugger that works with g++.

The project I am working on consists of many source files, and the bug
is occuring somewhere other than the main.  

QUESTION:
     HOW DO YOU SET BREAKPOINTS IN MULTIPLE FILES?

This program, consists of about  5000 lines of my code, so I don't want
to step 
through it.  I am also using X-Window in the program, and when the error
occurs, 
X exits the program. Because of this, gdb can not give me the current
stack frame,
a backtrace, or the values of any variables, everything is freed up.

HELP, before I go crazy!!
