Description
Type: Debugger
Hi team
I have set up the vscode for c++ in the following article as described. But When I am trying to follow the debugger setup steps, I am getting the following error and my debugger is not able to start.
Error
Unable to start debugging. Unable to establish a connection to LLDB. The following message was written to stderr:
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: __ZN4lldb20SBCommandInterpreter15SetPromptOnQuitEb

I feel it has something to do with xcode version.

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with the reported tasks.json and launch.json configurations and the lldb-mi path in the error. Reproduce the launch using the specified macOS, VS Code, Xcode, and C/C++ extension versions, then compare the bundled lldb-mi symbols with the Xcode LLDB framework. Done means the configured C++ program starts debugging without the missing-symbol error.
