Question

How can I debug a MinGW EXE with the Microsoft Visual C++ debugger?

Answer 1

You can attach the Visual C++ debugger to any process running on the system (from the Visual C++ menu). But for being able to step through your source code Visual C++ would have to load the symbol file (.pdb if I remember correctly) and I don't think GCC generates those files.
