I'm having trouble debugging a project in Visual Studio C++ 2008 with pointers to objects that have virtual multiple inheritance. I'm unable to examine the fields in the derived class, if the pointer is a type of a base. A simple test case I made: class A { public: A() { a = 3; }; virtual ~A() {} int a; }; ...

My Visual Studio 2008 IDE is behaving in a very bizarre fashion while debugging a unit test: I have a breakpoint and when I hit it and then try to step with F10 the test concludes.
