Description
Feature Request
When I tried to Setup the cppdbg for QNX, set env of QNX_TARGET should be set before ntoaarch64-gdb started to run.
I have tried the "environment"、"envFile" and "preLaunchTask" settings, but still failed to start the ntoaarch64-gdb, and got the error "QNX environment is not set!".
How could I set the env before gdb running?
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the cppdbg configuration launches ntoaarch64-gdb and how environment settings are passed to it. The issue provides no file or test names; done means QNX_TARGET is available before gdb starts and the QNX environment error no longer occurs.
