It *is* possible (for instance I used to debug my java oct-file with VS2005),
but you must compile your mex file with debug enabled (at compile and
link time). If you use mkoctfile to compile your mex file, use the -v flag
to see how the compiler is invoked and check whether the debug flags
are correctly used.
