C++ Execution Inspection - Ideas Wanted

"C++ Execution Inspection" is the best term I could coin for what it is I'd like to do. Suggestions from anyone who has done programming in C++ on Linux are welcome.

I was taught C++ in classrooms that used MS Visual Studio a few years ago. Visual Studio had a debugging mode that made it really easy to keep track of what all my variables where at a given break point. Because of this, I was able to figure out what my code was doing rapidly. Now I'm looking for advice on how to achieve the same thing on Linux.

I've got two books on vim and am *trying* to become savvy with it. So far I like the way one can navigate in vi. Supposedly it is supposed to be stellar for programmers. Has anyone been able to achieve the kind of debugging I'm describing from within vim?

FOSS, it's unix like OSes, and command line tools are thing I put a lot of faith in. However, I don't have much experience using them for C++ development. As such, I'm looking for solutions that don't involve clunky IDEs, non-FOSS, MS Windows etc...

C++ is my favorite language. I have friends who like Clojure, Ruby, and many more who like Java. While I'm mildly aware of the cool features these languages have, they don't seem as intuitive to me as C and C++. A common gripe for these two languages are that they both use pointers, which seem to confuse some people. Personally, I think pointers are super cool.

gvrng

gvrng(1)																  gvrng(1)

NAME

       gvrng - An interactive, introductory programming language.

SYNTAX

       gvrng [world file | program file]

DESCRIPTION

       Guido van Robot is a project developed by advanced high school students for use by their peers as a learning tool and precursor to the fur-
       ther study of programming with Python. It is a minimalistic programming language providing just enough syntax to help  students	learn  the
       concepts  of  sequencing, conditional branching, looping and procedural abstraction. It's biggest strength is that it permits this learning
       in an environment that combines the thrill of problem-solving with instant visual feedback. In short, it is  an	interactive,  introductory
       programming  language that is excellent for learning the basic concepts of programming, applicable in any high-level language. Best of all,
       it's a whole lot of fun, too!

       At this point, you are probably asking yourself, "What is GvRng, specifically?" The gist of it is that it is a robot represented by a  tri-
       angle  on  the screen that moves around in a world made up of streets and avenues, walls and "beepers", which Guido can collect or set. His
       actions are completely guided by a program written by the user.
