It does not matter you do not have main function, just start debugging
  whatever function you have e.g. by:
:step <yourFunctionName> <functionArg> ...

Setting breakpoints works too without main. Actually, I'm aware only
  of one thing which does not work without main. It is :main command.
  But that command does not seem to do much, looks like it only sets
  program arguments and calls main.
