My debugger isn't hitting any breakpoints, and my file is being compiled with the -g flag.

tasks.json:

}

launch.json:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",

        {
            "name": "g++.exe - Criar e depurar o arquivo ativo",

            ],
            "preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++.exe arquivo de build ativo"
        }
    ]
}

The build is finished successfully, and then this is executed in the integrated terminal: but I can't type anything.

I would really appreciate any help on this, It's so frustrating being unable to properly debug my C++ programs...

What version of VS Code and the C/C++ extension are you using?

@gabrielbergoc please change your problem matcher from g++ to gcc. Your build task is working (i.e. build is completed) but when launching, this is causing a problem.
