C++ MEX symbolic debugging

Tutorial: Microsoft C++ IDE setup directions for compiler and linker for symbolic MEX debugging.

Description

Tutorial contains directions to setup the microsoft visual c++ compiler and linker to create MEX functions. Then shows how to debug the resulting MEX files under MSVC's IDE.

Shows in great detail how to setup the compiler, the linker and finally MATLAB itself so that debugging is no longer limited to mexPrintf statements scattered throughout your code.

This means the auto variables, locals, the "this" pointer and registers are all fair game for debugging.

I hate wordy explanations - pictures are better and this is what the tuturial contains. It explicitly shows what dialog boxes look like and how to fill them in to get you up and running fast.
