Since you are able to set breakpoints, I guess
you must have compiled the module with debugging
info. Try turning off all optimization if you
haven't already done that too.

If the ctor and dtor are inlined in a header,
you might want to write them non-inline in
a .cpp file instead.

If those ideas don't help, post a minimal test
case here and describe what versions of the
compiler and debugger you're using.

When all else fails, try debugging at the
assembly level.
