gdb executes expression from hovering over a define (expression) without brackets

Environment

• OS and version: Win11 22H2
• VS Code: 1.92.2
• C/C++ extension: ms-vscode.cpptools
• OS and version of remote machine (if applicable):
• GDB / LLDB version: GNU gdb (Arm GNU Toolchain 13.3.Rel1 (Build arm-13.24)) 14.2.90.20240526-git

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:
I'm not sure if this is the correct extension for the bug.
It is from an old c-project.

Hovering over a define with an expression, will lead the gdb to execute the expression.
#define LED_ON led = 100
#define LED_OFF led = 0

uint8_t led = 0;

LED_ON;
dely(100);
LED_OFF;

The extension tries to get the value of the define.
But the gdb executes the expression of the define and sets the this value to the memory of the halted microcontroller.

-> =memory-changed,thread-group="i1",addr="0x20010f92",len="0x1"

So i can switch on or off the LED only with hovering over the define.
It is the same with a normal variable.

Additional Information

No response

Non sono indicati file sorgente né test. Inizia tracciando il percorso di hover che emette la richiesta GDB/MI var-create, quindi riproduci il problema con le macro LED_ON e LED_OFF sulla configurazione Cortex-M indicata. Il lavoro è completato quando il passaggio del mouse su un define o una variabile il cui valore è un'espressione non modifica più la memoria del target.
