Custom Debugger extension for C++

Question

Custom Debugger extension for C++

golf89 1

Hi All,

I am trying to Custom Debugger extension for my own C++ project, i have tried step mentioned at https://github.com/microsoft/VSProjectSystem/blob/master/doc/extensibility/IDebugLaunchProvider.md by creating XAML file and extending DebugLaunchProviderBase and providing enum value to be displayed.

But as soon as i load the template i see 4 default options (local windows debugger, remove windows debugger, web service debugger, web browser debugger).

even if i try to run the project i don't get call into my own Implementation of LaunchAsync in DebugLaunchProviderBase child class.

Can anyone suggest what i am missing?

I have applied the project capability to all the classes in sample extension and to vcxproj also.

Thanks in Advance

Hi @golf89 , welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Which version of Visual Studio and extension are you using?

I am using Visual Studio 2019 and trying to create sample extension which can support my own debugger implementation as mentioned https://github.com/microsoft/VSProjectSystem/blob/master/doc/extensibility/IDebugLaunchProvider.md

Hello @golf89 , thanks for the information. Not sure whether this extension is available for C++, perhaps need to install some/one certain extension. As you can see, the example/sample used VS 2015, so I suggest you can ask this question and confirm if it is available here: VSProjectSystem – Issues.

Thank you for your response, I think I didn't phrase my question correctly.

I am trying to create my own debugger implementation for c++ projects so that I can get my custom label on debug button and can handle the debugging/launch of the program.

Please let me know if you can help in this else I will post the question in GitHub
