SORRY to dis-agree with you.
Compuware does HAVE a debugger for C (Xped). And it has been out for awhile as
well.

Sounds like a IBM needs to improve Debug Tool for debugging C++ code!
Have you tried reporting these problems to us (IBM) and getting us to fix them?
Debug Tool was not so good in the 1990s, but since we have improved it
(hookless debugging, most of the features of other
debuggers) we have gotten a tremendous number of users (at least for COBOL,
PL/I and C, not sure about C++) and have solved many problems.
Debug tool changed dramatically between 2000 and 2004 especially, and many
customers tell us it is better than the rest now!
By the way, I think IBM has the only debugger for IBM C and C++ on z/OS.
Cheers,
