"code as hard to track"

What do you mean "hard to track"? At least templated code is fully interactive-debuggable - good luck trying to use debugging tools on code than heavily uses macros.

gcc annotates macro and let you track them in gdb up to a point. That's something I'd love to see improved surely.

clang let you delve in template nests a lot better than gcc and that makes it a really useful tool on the other hand
