Most devs should learn to use profilers.



In what implementation, and what guarantees does its debug iterators provide?


The one from your employer, Visual C++.


If you mean _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=1, they're about 4x slower for iteration. I suppose "good enough" is subjective, but if this much is acceptable, I'd rather use C# - it's in the same ballpark.
