Cannot debug code outside project with "justMyCode:false" option

[donglinz]

Hi,

This is a awesome vscode plugin that I use everyday.

In vscode debugging for python, code outside project can be break-pointed via "justMyCode":false option in launch.json file like below.

{
            "name": test",
            "type": "cuda-gdb",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/test/main",
            "justMyCode": false,
}

However this config does not work correctly for CUDA debugging, it says justMyCode property is not allowed.

I believe equivalent functionality is already provided by cuda-gdb debugger (i.e., break point outside project). Can we support it in this nsight vscode extension as well?

Hi! We currently do not support "justMyCode". Can you please describe your use case in more detail so we can consider this a feature request? (Details like what you're trying to debug, where you're trying to set this breakpoint - in a library that you wrote and is outside this project or a standard library etc)

ok here my use case: The cmake has 2 targets: 1) the library add_library(library SHARED gemm_lowbit_kernel.h gemm_lowbit_kernel.cu) #gemm_lowbit.cpp target_link_libraries(library PUBLIC ${TORCH_LIBRARIES} Python::Python) 2) the execution for testing the library add_executable(running gemm_lowbit.cpp) target_link_libraries(running library)

Obviously i only want to build the "so" once, and play with the exec file hence, when doing this: { "name": "CUDA C++: Launch", "type": "cuda-gdb", "request": "launch", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/build/running", "debuggerPath": "/miniconda3/bin/cuda-gdb", },

in the launch config, i am not sure why we don't have "justmycode":false option. Obviously i have the source code of the library.

3) another question is how about a ".so" file that i don't have the source code, how to step inside to their code. i guess this is not possible. but what if i build their code from scratch, in that case, i should be able to debug?

We do not yet support it because we do not have enough demand for it. Thanks for sharing your use cases we will take it into consideration.
