Debug Adapter

This module integrates with third party debug adapter protocol library to support IDE based debugging. Read https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol for information about the protocol and supported IDEs.

Usage

In order use zxdb with vscode -

  • Download the zxdb vscode extension from here (TBD)
  • Goto Run > Start Debugging and select zxdb configuration
  • Enter target executable to attach/launch
  • vscode debugger is now connected to zxdb

Submodules

  • Debug adapter server - Manages connection to the debug adapter client. Currently, only a single client is accepted. If client closes connection, this modules resets the connection and waits for new client.

  • Debug adapter context - Parses requests from debug adapter client using cppdap library. Once requests are parsed, they are processed by using zxdb client session

The runtime view of various modules in zxdb and interaction of debug adapter with them is depicted below - Runtime view

Note that the session is shared between console and debug adapter, which enables users to use zxdb console in addition to the IDE to control the debugging session.
