Can you debug C++ with line breaks in VS Code?

  Yes

  The deceptive answer is probably "Yes" to whatever such incarnation of that question you ask. But as always when it comes to VSCode, it's buggy, half-configured and most of the config is weirdly hidden inside json-schema driven JSON config files that may or may not work. So much so that for me it effectively becomes a "No" answer. That's been my experience with watching stubborn fellow co-workers struggling with it while doing python development. On paper, it has all the features and whistles of course, so therefore it's the "best IDE". Code completion, type-annotation, debugging, virtualenv, built-in linting, docker support, etc. But then when you use them, it's a virtual catastrophe of configs, random "does it work, no, try the config again, does it work now? Yes No?" And so it continues, for an hour. Meanwhile, a python IDE like PyCharm just works without hassle.

  I'm using https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools to debug.
