Debugging tools and practices in Windows?

I have not tried this in several years, but inside the Makefiles of the R source code, the following will replace the (non)debugging flags with debugging flags.

This (still) may or may not work ...

find . -type f -name 'M*k*' -exec sed -i 's/-O3/-O0 -ggdb3/g' {} \;
find . -type f -name 'M*k*' -exec sed -i 's/-O2/-O0 -ggdb3/g' {} \;
find . -type f -name 'M*k*' -exec sed -i 's/-shared/-shared -O0 -ggdb3/g' {} \;

I was sort of fresh at the this debugging when I started gdb debugging and time has passed by, so the recommended (current) 'R on windows' compiler flags can be found in the g++ documentation for the correct g++ used to compile the current R on Windows.
