cppDbg | file cpp library to easily output | Reflection library

I don't what happened to my vscode all of a sudden I am not able to debug files although I am to run my CPP program but not able to debug please help me I spend 2-3 hours continuously trying to fix my debugger

my program is running fine and compiler is creating a exe file as shown below

when I hit the debug button this image appears

and then it stuck on this screen

when I press any kind of key it exits and the normal terminal window appears

it is just like it is trying to open the external terminal but not able to open it some how this is what i think spending a whole day solving this problem

Lauch.json file

I have copied code from Bjarne Stroustrup's A Tour of C++ to test out string views but I keep getting error:

I'm trying to run from a launch.json file, so i can use gdb to debug my program in vscode.

The launch.json:

I am trying to set up VSCODE to debug a C program on Windows using Cygwin64.

I used the config suggested by @stephw ( Setting up VS Code for C using Cygwin64 Compiler and Debugger on Windows ), but it did not work for me.

I cannot comment on the original post, because I do not have enough reputation points, and I cannot answer because I do not know the answer to the original question.

The name of the script is dirigir.c and I can compile. The file dirigir.exe is created. But...

I get the following error:

ERROR: Unable to start debugging. Unexpected GDB output from command "-exec-run". Error creating process /usr/bin/E:\cloud\Backup\Trabalhos com programas\C and Cpp\scripts/e:\cloud\Backup\Trabalhos com programas\C and Cpp\scripts\dirigir.exe, (error 2).

For some reason, /usr/bin/... / is inserted in the path and the path to the .exe is duplicated.

My launch.json file is as recommended:

The issue I'm having is that when I run "C++ run/debug active file" the the code executes but doesn't stop at the breakpoints I set. I don't know a lot about how debuggers work but I'm guessing the the debugger isn't listening to the correct process? Or why would this happen?

In all honesty, I've been struggling to get all my dependencies correct and in the process may have broke intended functionality so it could be that I set up the scripts in a way that breaks it's intended use.

tasks.json looks like this:

I'm trying to build and run C code with vscode on windows 10.

I've gone through the vscode doc for mingw configuration, followed the steps there and managed to run a .c file with vscode.

However, there's still an issue yet.

each time run my program via "Run | Run Without Debugging", the panel switches automatically to "TERMINAL"

So I have to switch to the DEBUG CONSOLE manually each time I run the code, which is tediously boring.

Is there a way to keep the "DEBUG CONSOLE" panel active or show the output of my program in "TERMINAL" panel

I also tried the suggestion in another stackoverflow post, but it doesn't work for me.

Here is my tasks.json

I installed mingw64 toolchain with MSYS2, and managed to successfully run my code from vscode. However, running it creates two terminals, one for building and one for running the generated file: C/C++: g++.exe build active file and cppdbg: main.exe.

• cppdbg: main.exe leaves the text from the previous runs and "presentation" { "clear": true } in launch.json doesn`t help.
• since build and run are not related, it's possible that the build will fail and the old .exe will be launched without me noticing it.

So I'm looking for a way to configure vscode to build and run the app in one terminal, or maybe redirect the compiler output to the output tab. Anything similar to how it's done in other languages.

Also, how can I configure it to run without debugging by default? In launch.json, "configurations" require a "type" parameter, which has only one option, "cppdbg" - why is there no release option?

I'm trying to see how to embed Lua 5.1 into a C file in order to create a minimum reproducible example to try and solve another problem (thread here). I was following this simple tutorial but as soon as the debugger gets to lua_State *L = luaL_newstate();, it gives me the error the prelaunch task 'C/C++:gcc.exe build active file' terminated with exit code -1.

How do I fix this error? I tried searching for answers but couldn't find anything that matched this situation and I don't know if embedding Lua in C++ is different from C. I'm using VSCode on Windows 10.

This is the code I tried in my C file:

Im working on a project where i need to debug a C++ DLL/Lib. I have the DLL/PDB/H/Source files and i need a "Client" to invoque the DLL so i can debug some functions.

So far i have in Visual Studio a solution for a "DLL Client". To have it working i had to add my "Aditional Include Directories" (the .h file), the dll path on "Linker" and do a xcopy of the dll/pdb in "Build Events". This is working but i dont like the visual studio interface very much and want to try to code/debug with VSCode.

My client is very simple so far:
