Debug in C/C++ in Visual Studio Code does not work (Linux Ubuntu)

Question

I use Visual Studio Code, and wanted to use your Debug in my C/C++ files. There are few BR tutorials on how to configure the debug of VS code for Linux, especially in the language I use, and as I am new to this text editor, I’m having difficulties.

The problem occurs after configured, it simply opens the debug play/stop panel, but goes straight through the breakpoints and cannot debug, also appears the following error message when using debug:

Unable to open 'libc-start. c': File not found (file:///build/glibc-Cl5g7w/glibc-2.23/csu/libc-start. c).

I’m new to VS Code and I don’t know how to use this Debug, I may be doing something wrong. I do not know what to do or how to proceed, if anyone can help me, since I thank you.

My VS Code Launch.json is like this:

{

    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [

        {
            "name": "(gdb) Launch",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/draft",
            "args": [],
            "stopAtEntry": true,
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "environment": [],
            "externalConsole": true,
            "MIMode": "gdb",
            "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                }
            ]
        },
    ]
}

Answer 1

Try to put stopAtEntry: false and exterlConsole:false

For me it doesn’t work but for you sometimes it works.
