| # 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 -  |
| |
| 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. |
