Description
I'm using macOS 10.12.1, running VS Code 1.12.1 and cpptools 0.11.0
I have a simple program:
#include
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
}
It outputs this in the external console:
Hello World!
but this in the internal debug console:
@"Hello World!\r\n"
Surely that's a bug, or have I missed something ?
