Description

MacOs 10.13.2
vscode 1.18.1
When I use gbd as my debuger, it returns Unable to start debugging. Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

Is there a good config example for mac using gdb.
I think this problem caused by above version of MacOs 10.12, but I don't know how to solve it.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the debugging failure with macOS 10.13.2, VS Code 1.18.1, and GDB, then compare the configuration with a working macOS setup. Done means identifying whether the error is caused by the extension, GDB configuration, or the reported macOS version and documenting a confirmed fix or limitation.
