Visual Studio 2019 C++, how to know which return statement (out of multiple return statements in current function) exited the current function

Question

I'm debugging a C++ function in Visual Studio 2019 and there are multiple return statements in it.
I want to know which return statement exited the current function.
Right now I'm adding breakpoints to all the return statements and continuing the execution the execution.
Is there a simpler way.?

Further to Barry's suggestion to use a print before each return, note that
you can use the predefined macro LINE to display the source code line
number. So code such as:

std::cout << __LINE__ + 1 << '\n';
return n;

will display the source line number of the return statement.

If you don't want to clutter up the stdout display with these line numbers,
or if you don't have a console attached to your program, you can use
OutputDebugString (OutputDebugStringA, OutputDebugStringW) to show the
line numbers in the Output Window of the Debug session.
