Debug a C++ project in VS Code

[michaeldick]

Love VS Code, but this freedom comes at a cost. Some of the things I take for granted in an IDE can be a little bit of a headache, but I love in VS Code you can customize everything! Thank you for this video!

[andrewstone]

this is years overdue 😂 I remember in my first year of uni thinking it was ridiculously more complicated to set up a build env in vscode than VS2017

Thank you soo much!
This tutorial was really helpful, now I love debugging and can understand how exactly the code is running.

[Smurdy]

Love this video, it did absolutely nothing and not a single thing in the video worked the same in vscode. Making that intellij subscription seem really promising...

how can I enable debugging when I am using miniconda for package dependencies? I find passing the following arguments in clion cmake argument works, but VSCode cannot allow me to do that:

``` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG="-O0"

This is one of the best videos I've seen on this but alas it still won't work on my install lol back to code blocks

vs code with python: 1)click a button 2)enjoy.
vs code with c++ 1) add configuration file 2) click on something that did not appear. 3) update something that did not even occur 4) frustration 5) sadness 6) there is no point in anything 7) become a farmer

How do I input variable values during debugging mode?

[NilsKubler]

is it possible to attach to running processes in vs code?

[kalelalves]

Sadly, auto-complete doesn't work on debug console. :/

[wetbadger]

It doesn't give me the option to choose a debugger environment. I can only choose between (gdb) Attach or (gdb) Launch configurations. Neither works.

[tanmaykumar]

What if we want to input a value using cin? we can't write anything in debug console

[techdotsquirrel]

Following the steps:
I keep getting the following errors on Debug Console "Warning: Debuggee TargetArchitecture not detected, assuming x86_64.
ERROR: Unable to start debugging. Unexpected LLDB output from command "-exec-run". Command 'exec-run'. Invalid process during debug session
The program has exited with code 42

what I am missing here?

[glaucoa.]

I installed gdb and gcc on my MACOS, I do these steps and I can't debug. What do I do?

[Bubatzo]

those arent there for me anymore. After i installed the jdk i cant find any c++ debuggers

[zXjimmiXz]

Is it possible to change the formatting of the printed messages? All my output starts with @" and shows the new-line characters \r\n... How can I just show the plain output?

[rgbhere]

Suppose I don't have the .cpp source file but only the binary "a.out", which is already running. Is there a way for me to monitor the variables and expressions after attaching the debugger to the a.out process?

[mmkvhornet]

hi your steps work fine but i need to reconfigure each time !!! yes each time why please answer me 🙏🙏

[zXjimmiXz]

Didn't get a response previously - how can I remove the @ characters and the newline characters from every print statement? Makes the formatting of all our logging completely illegible making debugging 10X harder!

[snehel]

there should be a way to debug while taking user inputs, while smaller inputs doesn't need a debugger tool bt it's impossible to hardcode huge inputs again and again.
