Options
Launch
program - Absolute path to executable, or relative path if 'cwd' is specified. If the xrun tool has been exported to your user/global .bashrc, simply specify "xrun". If extensive configuration of the simulation or post-simulation handling of waveform databases is required, this can be a shell script calling xrun inlined, as long as it doesn't relinquish console output to another program (such as calling xrun with the -gui switch).
cwd - The directory from which the executable program is called.
args - The command line arguments passed to the xrun command.
"${command:SpecifyArgs}" - Prompt user for program arguments.
file.yml - Parse YAML configuration file under the "test" array and display a QuickPick to select an element as an argument.
A space-separated string or an array of string.
problemMatchers - Lines that match against these keywords in the output console will be sent to stderr.
stopOnEntry - Automatically stop after launch. Setting to false will cause simulator to run until the first user breakpoint.
