Description

I'm trying to run the disassembly view extension using vscode-cpptools + mingw + gdb.

Could you support the "location" member of "DisassembledInstruction" of DAP in order to go to source from disassembly?

Research direction

Start by tracing how MIEngine handles DAP DisassembledInstruction data for the VS Code disassembly view, focusing on the requested location member and source navigation. Done means the location member is supported so users can go from disassembly to source with the VS Code, MinGW, and GDB setup described.
