That's why you believe it would work.

As I said, in a real size project you either will not be able to set the
breakpoint after you initialize or else it will not stop at the breakpoint.
Actually it will not stop anywhere. I don't know if that depends on the
size or on libraries used, maybe on both. Even when you could set a
breakpoint you not guaranteed to be able to debug the program. It can go
mad at any time, while stepping through etc. The fact is, it is totally
unusable in practice.
