|
|
**Hint:** Not all types (e.g. Array) in V currently create the required
|
|
[DWARF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWARF) information to show and
|
|
edit the variable.
|
|
|
|
### Setup Debugging
|
|
|
|
1. Install the [C/C++ Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools)
|
|
2. Open `RUN AND DEBUG` panel (Debug Icon in left panel).
|
|
3. Click on `Show` all automatic debug configurations.
|
|
4. Select `Add config`.
|
|
5. Select environment `C++ (GDB/LLDB)`.
|
|
6. Change the line `"program": "Enter the program name, e.g. \"${workspaceFolder}/a.out\"",`
|
|
to point to your compiled application e.g. `"program": "${workspaceFolder}/hello",`.
|
|
|
|
This will add a block to your `.workspace` file,
|
|
or create the file `.vscode/launch.json`:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
|
|
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
|
|

|
|
"version": "0.2.0",
|
|
"configurations": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "(lldb) Start",
|
|
"type": "cppdbg",
|
|
"request": "launch",
|
|
"program": "Enter the program name, e.g. \"${workspaceFolder}/a.out\"",
|
|
"args": [],
|
|
"stopAtEntry": false,
|
|
"cwd": "${fileDirname}",
|
|
"environment": [],
|
|
"externalConsole": false,
|
|
"MIMode": "lldb"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Optional:** use `"program": "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"` to debug
|
|
any current open source file with an existing binary with the same name but without any extension.
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
To allow your compiled application to be debugged.
|
|
The application needs to include additional debugging information
|
|
([DWARF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWARF)).
|
|
|
|
**1. Compile with debugging information:**
|
|
`v -b c -g hello.v -o hello` or short `v -g hello.v`
|
|
|
|
The `-g` option will add the needed debugging informations.
|
|
More Options are explained in the [docs](docs.md#debugging).
|
|
|
|
|
|
**2. Start Debugging**
|
|
|
|
1. Open your source code and set the required break points
|
|
2. Click on the Debug Icon in the left Icon panel and click
|
|
`> (lldb) Start`, or use `F5` to launch your application in debug mode.
|
|
|
|
For all options look at the official
|
|
[C/C++ Extension documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/cpp-debug).
