Description

Issue Type: Bug

This stumped me for a while, but it turns out that a breakpoint cannot be set while debugging when the filename starts with a number that is separated from the rest of the filename by whitespace.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the breakpoint failure in the VS Code C/C++ extension with a filename that begins with a number followed by whitespace. Trace the extension's breakpoint handling and compare behavior with filenames that do not match this pattern. Done means breakpoints can be set successfully for the reported filenames; no source file or test is named in the issue.
