Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce
Bug Summary:
It will finish the debug when I click the Registers list.
This is my code:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(void) {
int a = 10;
cout << "hello!" << endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
I set a breakpoint to debug.

When I click the Registers list, it will exit the debug mode.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with the supplied launch.json and tasks.json, then compare the debugger logs around the Registers-list interaction and the unexpected GDB exit. Done means selecting Registers no longer aborts the debug session on the stated Windows, VS Code, extension, and GDB setup.
