Project description

Debugger program for Rust/C/C++ and others.

Metadata

Additional context

We have vscode-extensions.vadimcn.vscode-lldb in nixpkgs, but it is more suited to be used within VSCode. I'd like to have only codelldb binary installed and exposed to PATH, as I use another editor with DAP supported for my programming need.

I also want the VSCode extension to use the external binary from this new package, rather than the built one inside the extension's directory.

@nigelgbanks it would also be nice to add an alias package for the VS Code extension called codelldb instead of vscode-lldb since that is the project's official name now. It took me a while to find it because I never knew it was formerly called vscode-lldb.
