Control gdb output to Debug Console

Type: Debugger

• OS and Version: Windows 10.0. 4393 x64
• VS Code Version: 1.25.1
• C/C++ Extension Version: 0.17.6
• Using mingw-w64 8.1.0

Using a minimal example for a sample program:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
  std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

It would be nice to have more control over what gdb messages are printed in the Debug Console.
launch.json provides logging options for moduleLoad, engineLogging, trace, exceptions, programOutput, traceResponse, but it seems as though most gdb messages are grouped under programOutput. Sometimes I just want to see my program output when debugging, without the clutter from other gdb commands/events, but I haven't found a way to achieve that.

Adding --silent to miDebuggerArgs and set print thread-events off to setupCommands can turn off the gdb startup message and New thread/Thread exited messages in the Debug Console. But unless I completely disable programOutput (and lose the output stream), the following gets printed on every run:

=thread-group-added,id="i1"
Warning: Debuggee TargetArchitecture not detected, assuming x86_64.
=cmd-param-changed,param="pagination",value="off"
=library-unloaded,id<...>
=library-unloaded,id<...>
...

It can be very verbose, and I haven't been able to find a way to disable it using gdb commands.
I'm not sure whether this request is best suited for here or the MIEngine project?

Comienza revisando la configuración de registro de launch.json, especialmente programOutput, y el proyecto MIEngine relacionado mencionado en el informe; tasks.json solo describe la configuración de compilación. Determina dónde se agrupan los mensajes de GDB y la salida del programa, y luego define una forma de controlarlos de manera independiente, conservando la salida del programa cuando se solicite.
