Learn to use the debugger that came with your compiler.

This is not a CircleMUD related question.  Since you're using Windows, I
can't point you to a specific program or resource.  I imagine that your
compiler came with documentation or that you're actually in possession of
a web browser, so I think it's reasonable to suggest that you take the
little time and inconvenience to look for yourself, instead of asking 300
people.

A good place to start if you're using MSVC++ would be with that little
program Microsoft obscurely refers to as the "MSVC++ Debugger."

Furthermore, read the Mailing List FAQ for subject header conventions.
There's no excuse for treating this list of 300+ people as your personal
tech support line, especially when you don't follow the conventions of the
list when doing so.
