How to determine at runtime when your C++ application has the visual studio debugger attached?

How do you determine at runtime whether the visual studio debugger is attached to your process. I've seen instructions for how to do this in .NET, but my process is a native C++ process. Support for detecting Just-in-time debugging would be nice but not a strict requirement.

+8  A: 

The Win32 call IsDebuggerPresent() sounds like it ought to work.
