What is the difference in terms of debugging?

A plugin is something designed to be added or removed at runtime. If statically linked it can NOT be added or removed.

Here is an example.  wxCustomButton has been added to a GUI.  There are no build errors, no runtime errors, except for this one nagging problem.
After OnExit() has been called, the app hangs.  This is attributable to the newly added wxCustomButton widget, because it never occurred before it was added to the GUI project.  So, how then do you go about debugging this -- when the problem exists in a shared library.  For example how would you set a breakpoint?

What will be the difference if wxCustomButton was a static lib instead of shared lib?

Both present the same challenge in terms of debugging.  Speaking for myself (who is just learning to use the gnu debugger).
