If I breakpoint on the closing brace of a function with a return
value, can I see what the return value is at that point? How? Thanks.
Example:

bool funcA() {
return funcB();
} // breakpoint here and I want to know what funcB returned

The simplest thing I would do in this case would be something like

bool funcA() {
bool retval = funcB();
return retval;
} // breakpoint here and addwatch or hover over retval
