VscDebugAdapter Module

# Introduction to the VscDebugAdapter Module

The VscDebugAdapter module provides common functionality for implementing Visual Studio Adapter https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/.

Only subset of features is supported in Visual Studio Code IDE and in this module.

Module limitations:

- breakpoint server side hitcount not supported
- breakpoint logpoints
- VSC event is not raised when breakpoint is changed, e.g. via another debugger client
- conditional breakpoints, e.g. for particular thread
- structured variables, e.g. classes/objects
- for functional breakpoint the function must be provided with arguments types even a user variant does not exist
- values for top-level local variables are not provided as thread vars for each thread
- cannot provide program exit value

Visual Studio Code known issues:

- evaluate "watch" request is not executed every step so watch value might be out of date
- no module support in IDE
- display own data type and custom data editor
- exception info is asked but the value is not displayed
- some capabilities are not implemented
