Description

Type: Debugger

Just a quick question. Are logpoints supposed to be working for C++ debugging?

I can add the logpoint and the debugger actually stops at the point, but no message is logged (or at least I can't find it).

  • OS and Version: Windows 10
  • VS Code Version: 1.27.2
  • C/C++ Extension Version: 0.19.0
