Description
the script->
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
vector<int> vb;
int main() {
vb.push_back(9);
cout<<vb[0];
return 0;
}
breakpoint at line 7
output->9 as expected.
but when i write-->"vb[0]" on debug console the whole thing crush with error-->
ERROR: GDB exited unexpectedly. Debugging will now abort.
The program 'c:\Users\Belayet Hossain\Documents\vs code project\other\other.exe' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).

same thing happen when
script-->
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
struct other
{
int a,s,d;
int get_a(){
return a;
}
};
int main() {
struct other cv={1,2,3};
cout<<cv.get_a();
return 0;
}
and on debug console calling
cv.get_a()

Research direction
Start with the provided C++ reproductions and the launch.json/task.json configurations, then run the debugger and evaluate vb[0] and cv.get_a() in the debug console. Investigate the reported “GDB exited unexpectedly” behavior and confirm done when these expressions no longer abort debugging or the cause is clearly documented.
