• Debugging on Linux (x86 or Arm), MacOS (x86 or Arm) and Windows^* (x86 only),
• Conditional breakpoints, function breakpoints, data breakpoints, logpoints,
• Launch debuggee in integrated or external terminal,
• Disassembly view with instruction-level stepping,
• Loaded modules view,
• Python scripting,
• HTML rendering for advanced visualizations,

• Global and workspace defaults for launch configurations,
• Remote debugging,
• Reverse debugging (experimental, requires compatible backend).

For full details please see the User's Manual.

^* For a good debugging experience on Windows, please use x86_64-pc-windows-gnu compilation target. MS PDB debug info support is limited, especially for Rust binaries. More info.

    "type": "lldb",
    "request": "launch",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/<my program>",
    "args": ["-arg1", "-arg2"],
}
