Description
Environment
- OS and version: Ubuntu22
- VS Code: latest
- C/C++ extension: latest
- GDB / LLDB version: gdb 12.1 (also repros with 13).
Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce
- Use C++ code
#include <vector>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::vector<std::string> v{""};
return 0;
}
- Put a breakpoint on the std::vector line and use F5.
- Choose to compile with the g++-12 compiler -- it doesn't repro if you switch to g++-11.
- Step over the std::vector function.
Bug: The stepping jumps to the bottom of the function instead of going to the next line. This occurs if additional lines of code are added as well. Stepping an extra time goes to the next line (return 0).

Research direction
No repository file or test is named. Reproduce the behavior with the supplied C++ program, g++-12, GDB 12.1 or 13, and the shown build task and default launch.json; compare it with g++-11. Done means stepping over the vector initialization reaches the next source line correctly.
