On a side note; the visual callgraph is interesting.. It'd be interesting for other IDEs to implement something similar with a historical listing of input/output values for the corresponding displayed methods.

What's the visual callgraph? Is it something different than the CFG graph in the screenshot? I feel like most disassemblers do that.

Yeah, it's really interesting how many iterator invalidation bugs you find in real C++ codebases. It's so easy to think that they don't exist until you have a tool (or a human) actively searching for them…
