I’m using Visual Code a lot for Rust development, so it’d be good to be able to debug a Rust application within it. Simply change the settings.json file, i.e. <\/p>\n

\r\nFile | Preferences | Settings\r\n<\/pre>\n
from the settings.json<\/em> and now add<\/p>\n
\r\n"debug.allowBreakpointsEverywhere": true,\r\n<\/pre>\n
Now add the C\/C++ Microsoft extension if you’ve not already added it to Visual Code.<\/p>\n
Next up, select<\/p>\n
\r\nDebug | Add Configuration...\r\n<\/pre>\n
and the option<\/p>\n
\r\nC++ (Windows)\r\n<\/pre>\n
Here’s my resultant launch.json file<\/p>\n
\r\n{\r\n  "version": "0.2.0",\r\n  "configurations": [\r\n    {\r\n      "name": "(Windows) Launch",\r\n      "type": "cppvsdbg",\r\n      "request": "launch",\r\n      "program": "${workspaceFolder}\/target\/debug\/test.exe",\r\n      "args": [],\r\n      "stopAtEntry": false,\r\n      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",\r\n      "environment": [],\r\n      "externalConsole": false\r\n    }\r\n  ]\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
and that’s it, now add a break point to your application, select Debug | Start Debugging (F5) and you’re off and running in the debugger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
