To find, e.g., an unmatched closing brace:  open the file in Vim, insert 
an opening brace at the beginning of the file, put the cursor on the 
opening brace, and press %.  (Might not work if there are unmatched 
braces in strings.)

Also note that Vim has syntax highlighting for most languages.  This may 
help you to find the unmatched brace as well.
