Hi Jonathan and Guillaume, I use VS Code to work on Git (using Remote SSH from a Windows machine to a Linux machine) but I've always used command-line gdb for debugging. However, your request here got me interested. I confirmed that running the debugger from the VS Code UI did not show any output or show that a breakpoint was hit. Performing the update you recommend made the debuggin UI populate with all the necessary info (stack trace, variables, showing the breakpoint line in the editor). Here is a patch that makes the change as you suggest. I tried to research the setting appropriately, so please let me know if there is anything you think is incorrect here. Thanks, -Stolee --- >8 ---
