I doubt Gavin will wake up one day and decide to write a debugger.
Unfortunately there are no good debugging options for Android. gdb is
command-line and you can't break a running program, because GDB expects Ctrl+C
to break, but this is apparently caught by the OS or something and terminates
GDB itself. WinGDB is a non-starter--I couldn't make it work no matter what I
tried, and development has been discontinued (the developer told me it was
because people weren't buying licenses--err, people are not buying licenses
because it doesn't work). Also, WinGDB is not supposed to be compatible with
vs-android but rather a replacement for it, as it uses its own project files
and build process.
You might have luck debugging C++ in Eclipse (but on my machine, that didn't
work either):

There's a few options:
- WinGDB as mentioned. AFAIK one of their packages bundles a modified version
of vs-android.
- http://visualgdb.com/ - Someone posted that on the "Troubleshooting" page
recently. http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/android/vs-android/
- Nvidia NSight - https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-nsight-tegra
