Daiybhwe want debug the cpp with lldb/gdb in VSCode in MacOS
but gdb is not work in macos(M1).(maybe yes, but I don’t found )
so we use lldb.
but if we direclty use lldb in vscode, it will not work.
It always report
Starting: "/usr/bin/lldb" --interpreter=mi
error: unknown option: --interpreter=mi
Fininally, I found the document that we can use lldb in vscode.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/lldb-mi
it recommend to use lldb-mi.
lldb-mi is in “~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-
better is copy it to /usr/local/bin or some other path in your $PATH
that can short path in the launch.json.
those is the full launch.json
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug with LLDB",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
// Resolved by CMake Tools:
"program": "${command:cmake.launchTargetPath}",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [
{
// add the directory where our target was built to the PATHs
// it gets resolved by CMake Tools:
"name": "PATH",
"value": "$PATH:${command:cmake.launchTargetDirectory}"
},
{
"name": "OTHER_VALUE",
"value": "Something something"
}
],
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "lldb",
"miDebuggerPath": "/opt/local/bin/lldb-mi",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for lldb",
"text": "settings set target.macosx-version-min 10.15", // Optional: Set macOS version
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
"logging":{
"engineLogging": true
}
}
]
}
this launch.json can launch current project in debug mode.
