I have the opposite viewpoint about ads. I don't think we should reward a business model which relies on the premise that humans like to watch ads. I never had someone tell me to drive slower because they wanted to take a closer look a

Visual studio debugger can track hit counts. I would be _very_ surprised if gdb can't do it as well. With gdb you can even script what it needs to do when it hits a breakpoint. So even if it's not built-in, it's scriptable. e
