Description

Feature Request

https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/main/Documentation/Debugger/How%20To%20Debug%20MIEngine.md

Now a simple launch config is enough:

{
	"name": ".NET Core Attach",
	"type": "coreclr",
	"request": "attach",
	"processName": "OpenDebugAD7"
},

And building:

"tasks": [
	{
		"label": "build",
		"command": "./PublishOpenDebugAD7.sh -c ${input:buildtype} -o ~/.vscode-server/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-*/debugAdapters/bin",
		"type": "shell",
		"group": {
			"kind": "build",
			"isDefault": true
		},
		"problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
	}
],
