I don't think this possibility exists yet. But someone hopefully will 
do a real source level GUI debugger for Haiku at one point in the 
future (maybe as Pe add-on) :-)

Anyway, when you compiled and linked your application to keep debug 
information (the -g option), "bdb" can be very helpful. Indeed, you can 
also run your application into it by issuing:
$ bdb my-application

In that case you can set break and watch points before the actual 
program execution.

Also note that there is a newer bdb on BeBits than was released with 
R5: http://www.bebits.com/app/1996
