Debug attach session never starts (endless waiting/loading)

[borjamunozf]

Environment

• OS and version: Ubuntu 22.04
• VS Code: 1.87.2
• C/C++ extension: 1.19.8
• OS and version of remote machine (if applicable):
• GDB / LLDB version: 12.2 (tested with 14.1 also)

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

For different kind of C++ projects in my company (complex or not) the attach debug session never starts nor attaches to the target PID at first time. The solution is always to kill the OpenDAP PID and launch again the attach debug config.

Sometimes it says waiting for connection but others it just show the attach configu in the Debug console and nothing more.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create launch.json with these configs.
2. Execute config.
