Modules Debug Pane

This extension provides a modules pane in the debug view, showing loaded modules (dlls), and/or loaded source files for languages like javascript.

What's New

Javascript debuggers don't have modules, but they do have 'loadedSource' events which are sort-of analogous. In this update I add Source objects to the modules pane, so you can tell what files the javascript runtime has loaded in the course of execution, and sort and open them.

More Information

As far as I can tell, this doesn't already exist, though some debugger extensions provide their own.

This extension is intended to work with any debugger using DebugAdapterProtocol, though it has had limited testing outside cppvsdbg and cppdbg. If you encounter problems please report.

The table adapts to the various optional fields the debug adapter supports. In the case of cppvsdbg I am augmenting the modules with the addressRange which cppvsdbg does not provide; other adapters might benefit from similar workarounds.
