Description
You can attach the Debugger to a running process with an attach entry in launch.json, but as far as I can tell, there is no corresponding way to detach the debugger (similar to Visual Studio's Debug > Detach All).
There are a number of scenarios where this can be useful, e.g:
-
When debugging client-server code you may want to switch the debugger between the client and the server process, without killing any of the processes.
-
For hot-reloading of DLLs, you may want to detach the debugger so that it releases its file locks, allowing you to rebuild DLLs and PDBs.
