First you have to install CodeGuard from your BC5.x-CD separately. After
this there must be an online help. 
  All settings for debugging you can do from the project window:
*  in project options dialog (where you can find compiler options) you now
have an entry for CodeGuard where you can enable global an stack data
access etc.
*  in TargetExpert dialog (where you can choose between static and dynamic
linking) you then can activate/deactivate CodeGuard for your project.

Don't forget to recompile (possibly with hundrets of warnings which doesn't
matter / turn of duplicate symbols warning) -- and you will be shown run
time errors e.g. the lines of source code where something how happened,
where the memory envolved were allocated (line 123 of x.cpp for arrayname
were 8 bits allocated and in line 321 of y.c the code tryed to write in 10
bytes offset of arrayname <-- something like this) and many really useful
details as not freed memory and and and -- always with line numbers of
source code

PS: I just see in the little user's guide that you can do things like
monitor function return values (like all return values of all functions of
-1 (for Failure))
