Abaut

While learning CLR Runtime, I found it's hardly to understand how the context is switched between Managed and Nitave Code.

When I choose codelldb or cppdbg debugger to launch the app(in vscode), I can neither set the breakpoint on C# code, nor see the Managed CallStack.

You can not get Native frames if you are using coreclr debugger.

SOS

Sometimes I will use SOS plugin with lldb. but all the command was executed outside of the vscode. So why not bring codelldb and sos together?

Changes

• When initializing the lldb. SOS will be loaded.
• Check file's extention. use bpmd command instead if it's a cs file.
• Try find managed frame by IP2MD command if no source code is found when breakpoint is hit.

Quick Start

Here's a minimal debug configuration to get you started:

{
    "lldb.launch.debugServer": 4711,
    "lldb.launch.initCommands": [
        "plugin load /home/path/to/sos/libsosplugin.so",
        "setsymbolserver -ms"
    ],
}
