Additional Information

I am aware of the "known limitations" under https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/cpp-debug#_known-limitations. However, as already described under #595 , and also described by someone else on stackoverflow, when using gdb via the commandline it can halt the process it is attached to. So the statement under "known limitations" is not as absolute as it seems.

I open this new issue, because my comment in the closed #595 did not get any attention.

What is the difference in invoking gdb via VSCode and via commandline? Why does one not be able to halt the attached process and the other can?

Iniziare dalla configurazione di attach cppdbg pubblicata e confrontare il comportamento di attach di VS Code con GDB da riga di comando su Windows 10. Esaminare le limitazioni note e il precedente issue #595, quindi determinare se i breakpoint possono essere associati dopo l’attach; documentare il risultato se il comportamento rimane una limitazione.
