Description
Feature Request
When using cppdbg debugging type, it is desirable to add an opportunity to run the specified debugging commands after starting the specified program and before running the program. Refer to the postRunCommands of codelldb debugging type. This is very useful in some cases, such as on Windows, where you can call p (int) SetConsoleOutputCP(65001) to set the character set of the console to display characters correctly.
postRunCommands see https://github.com/vadimcn/codelldb/blob/master/MANUAL.md

Done means cppdbg accepts the setting and runs the specified debugger commands after starting the program but before it runs, including the Windows console encoding example described in the issue.
