Debugging C++ "bound" into Fortran

I have integrated C++ into my Fortran using Bind. The C++ is in an object library in different solution and project,

I start debugging using Attach to process (to either Mathematica Net/link of Excel but cannot step into the C++

How can I properly debug the C++ code?

It would appear that your C++ library was built without debug information. This requires both the compiler to generate object files containing debug information, and a Link/Librarian command to not strip out debug information. This may also require you to not move the library from where it was built. The VS debugger can pop-up a symbols locator in the event the library is moved, but sometimes this does not happen when you expect it to.

Is this a static or dynamic library?
Is the entry point a Fortran Program or a C/C++ main()?

Also, see this thread, particularly Message #5 and #6.  Are you, by any chance, using managed C++?  If yes, then it poses a limitation in the current VS environment with Intel Fortran integration.
