Description
Bug type: Debugger
Describe the bug
- OS and Version: Amazon Linux 2
- VS Code Version: 1.61.2
- C/C++ Extension Version: 1.7.1
- Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): yes
- A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
To Reproduce
- Debugging the open source mysql code in Amazon linux. I set the breakpoint on the file sql/dd/upgrade_57/table.cc and launch the mysqld to debug.
- The debugger hits in the different file with same name present at different location that is sql/table.cc . It hits the same line number though in that file. As you can see from the attache screenshots.
Additional context
If applicable, please include logging by adding "logging": { "engineLogging": true, "trace": true, "traceResponse": true } in your launch.json

Research direction
Start with the attached filtered.txt log and reproduce debugging the MySQL source with a breakpoint in sql/dd/upgrade_57/table.cc. Compare how the debugger resolves that path with sql/table.cc, which has the same filename. Done means the breakpoint opens and stays mapped to the selected source file rather than the other same-named file.
