Eclipse Theia - @theia/cpp-debug example workspace

Description

The workspace provides an easy and reproducible way to test the functionality present in the @theia/cpp-debug extension.

note: ATM debugging does not work in Gitpod. Since GDB uses ptrace to attach to the debuggee and ptrace requires the docker container to be started with special permissions.

Key Features

  1. a.cpp: simple C/C++ program for debug purposes
  2. tasks.json: task configuration file (executes the compilation of the C/C++ program)
  3. launch.json: debug launch configuration file (launches the debug session)

Use Cases

Testing the memory-view

  1. open cpp-debug-workspace as a workspace.
  2. compile the program (use F1 + Run Task... and select compile example)
  3. set breakpoint(s) in a.cpp
  4. start the debug session using Debug + Start Debugging from the main menu
  5. open the memory-view using View + Memory from the main menu
  6. in the memory view, input $sp in the location input field (the memory-view should display output)
