# CSCE12x VSCode Debugger Configuration
Make sure your `tasks.json` looks liks this:
```json
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C++: g++ build active file",
"command": "/usr/bin/g++",
"args": [
"-g",
"-std=c++17",
"-Wall",
"-Wextra",
"-pedantic-errors",
"-Weffc++",
"-Wno-unused-parameter",
"-fsanitize=undefined,address",
"${relativeFileDirname}/*.cpp",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"detail": "compiler: /usr/bin/g++"
},
{
"label": "Run",
"type": "shell",
"dependsOn": "Build",
"command": "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
"args": [],
"presentation": {
"reveal": "always",
"focus": true
},
"problemMatcher": [],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
}
}
]
}
```
Add this to your `launch.json`:
```json
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "(gdb) Launch",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
"args": ["-I${workspaceFolder}"],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${fileDirname}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
},
{
"description": "Set Disassembly Flavor to Intel",
"text": "-gdb-set disassembly-flavor intel",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
"preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++ build active file",
}
]
}
```
To make this permanent, press `Ctrl-Shift-P` and open "User Settings (JSON)". `settings.json` file should now open. Add this to your config:
```json
,
"launch": {
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "(gdb) Launch",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
"args": [
"-I${workspaceFolder}"
],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${fileDirname}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
},
{
"description": "Set Disassembly Flavor to Intel",
"text": "-gdb-set disassembly-flavor intel",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
"preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++ build active file",
}
]
},
```
