Linux LLDB cannot use integrated terminal

Type: Debugger

Description

• OS and Version: system: "x86_64-linux", multi-user?: yes, version: nix-env (Nix) 2.3.9, channels(twey): "home-manager", channels(root): "nixos-21.03pre257780.e9158eca70a", nixpkgs: /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos
• VS Code Version: 1.51.1 (also reproduced on 1.52 on macOS)
• C/C++ Extension Version: 1.1.3
• Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): none
• A clear and concise description of what the bug is: when using lldb, all debug output appears in the Debug Console pane instead of the Terminal pane, and the Debug Console pane does not support entering user input (stdin).

Reproduction

main.c:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
    char s[128];
    int n = scanf("%s", s);
    printf("\"%s\"\n", s);
}

launch.json (as generated, except to remove the path to lldb-mi, which is incorrect on my system):

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "clang - Build and debug active file",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
            "args": [],
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "environment": [],
            "externalConsole": false,
            "MIMode": "lldb",
            "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                }
            ],
            "preLaunchTask": "C/C++: clang build active file"
        }
    ]
}

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Click the ‘Start Debugging’ or ‘Run Without Debugging’ menu items (I see no difference in their behaviour).
2. Observe the ‘Terminal’ and ‘Debug Console’ panes.

Expected behaviour

Output from the program appears in the integrated terminal window, and I can type into the integrated terminal window to provide input to the program on stdin.
(This is the behaviour with GDB, if I just change "MIMode": "lldb" to "MIMode": "gdb")

Observed behaviour

All program output appears on the Debug Console, where it is written as an NSString literal:

Warning: Debuggee TargetArchitecture not detected, assuming x86_64.
=thread-selected,id="1"

@"Hello, world!\r\n"

Any attempt to provide input as I would were I running lldb directly (using -exec or by typing directly into the Debug Console command line) is met with:

Unable to perform this action because the process is running.

and thus there is no way for the user to provide stdin input to the program.

Reproduisez le problème avec les fichiers fournis main.c et launch.json en utilisant LLDB, en comparant le comportement de integrated Terminal et de Debug Console. Commencez par le point d’entrée de la configuration du débogueur pour la gestion de MIMode et externalConsole ; le travail est terminé lorsque la sortie de débogage de LLDB apparaît dans le terminal intégré et que le programme y accepte stdin.
