Description
Currently LLDB support on Linux for VS Code is lacking. It plainly doesn't work.
There is no official documentation on how to get started with Clang on Linux using the vscode-cpptools either.
Adding official support for Clang/LLDB on Linux would be absolutely awesome. Extending that to Windows would be great too thanks to LLVM's cross-platform nature.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the TypeScript VS Code extension's existing compiler and debugger support and its documentation structure. Done would require official Clang/LLDB support on Linux plus clear setup documentation; the requested Windows extension needs scope clarification.
