Unable to debug with gdb

[Priyansh2001here]

Bug type: Debugger

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: Win 11
• VS Code Version: 1.58.2
• C/C++ Extension Version: 1.5.1

Hi, I am trying to debug my c++ code but for some reason it doesn't work. I have installed cygwin tool chain with gcc and gdb. Cygwin Binary path is included in path

This is my launch.json

and

this is all i got in terminal

Is there anything in the DebugConsole tab?

Yeah,I forgot to attach this

[WardenGnaw]

The issue is that you have spaces in your program's path.

Error creating process /cygdrive/c/Users/singh/OneDrive/Desktop/DSA 2021 (Udemy)/Arrrays and Vectors/12.exe

Removing the spaces from the path should allow it to run and debug.

[Priyansh2001here]

Yeah it worked, but when i was using MinGW it was working fine. Does this have something to do with cygwin

[WardenGnaw]

Yes, it depends on how gdb is built. Cygwin expects Linux paths and spaces in Linux paths need to be escaped.
