Configuring VS Code with Gdb - gdb

Question

I am using Vs Code in Linux. Is it possible to configure Gdb with Code so that I can use the gui for debugging for C/C++ programs.

Answer 1

There is an extension called debug you can install using ext install debug. Im the author of the extension and it supports debugging native applications using GDB. Just follow the README in there and it should be very easy to setup. If you want to build before debugging, just add a preLaunchTask to the config and create a build task that compiles your application.

EDIT: Sorry, strike that since it's just Homebrew's gdb not being signed in Yosemite: http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildingOnDarwin
Installed your extension, defined the .json runner and got a terminal stating:
"&"warning: GDB: Failed to set controlling terminal: Operation not permitted\n"...
When typing GDB commands, I'm told that the process is running (despite having set the breakpoint in the editor, red dot).
Then when I close the floating terminal (outside the VSCode builtin one):
