It's been a minute since I used C/Cpp but if you compile with debugging symbols and using gdb give you info like in Java? At least the location of the crash.

Then it's time to have a closer look at how your concurrent threads are behaving and where you missed a sync point or mutex.

That's when you break out valgrind because you certainly are using uninitialized memory.

And much more, it tells you each operation it goes through, where it is in the code, what's in the registers and more.
