Descrizione
First of all thank you for all this work, it's great.
I'm using vscode+cpptools+IAR extension to deveolp embedded device software.
Everything is working fine (with the already known limitation), but there's an issue that I'm not able to identify.
The issue is present always, and could be reproduced in the following ways:
-Each time I launch the server, and no breakpoint are set before the main (that is not the real entry point), I get a Trace/breakpoint trap and the program stop at it. stopAtEntry settings makes no difference.
-Each time I press pause the program correctly stop at the point where it's running, however it generates again Trace/breakpoint trap, even if it knows that it was me requiring the program to pause.
-Each time I set a breakpoint while the program is running, and the breakpoint is far enough from PC, I get a Trace/breakpoint trap in the exact same way as I I had pressed pause.
Since this behaviour is the same on Visual Studio 2017 my first guess is that it has to do to some IPC being out of sync and looked at the common denominator: the MIEngine. I tried then to debug the MIEngine as described in cpptools documentation folder, but cpptools failed to start with the my newly produced binary (sign required?).
The debugger and GDB server I'm using is JLink, and vscode and vscode-cpptools are updated.
This is the launch.json configuration file, I think that it would be easy to reproduce by just using a different binary and a jlink.

Direzione di ricerca
Inizia con la configurazione launch.json e il file pause_trace.txt allegati all’issue, quindi riproduci il comportamento usando il J-Link GDB server e la configurazione di debug MIEngine indicata. Confronta il comportamento di avvio, pausa e breakpoint per determinare perché viene segnalato un Trace/breakpoint trap; il lavoro è completato quando queste azioni non producono più un trap ingiustificato.
