Replace deprecated Debugger with LLVM Debugger #22

Closed vknabel closed 4 years ago

vknabel commented 6 years ago

SDE should provide some templates for the LLVM debugger and prelaunch tasks optimized for Swift. When possible debugging unit tests shall be supported on macOS and Linux. The LLVM debugger should automatically be installed as extension using extensionDependencies.

This would break existing clients with own SDE debugging configs.

Debugger should be removed after https://github.com/vknabel/All-in-One-Swift-for-vscode/issues/3

vknabel commented 4 years ago

Even though removing the debugger is a breaking change, I doubt it has any real consequences.

The documentation doesn’t refer to SDE‘s broken debugger for quite a while and encourages to use LLVM debugger.
