HXCPP Debugger

This VSCode extension allows you to debug HXCPP applications.

Usage

To debug a HXCPP application, it needs to be compiled with the hxcpp-debug-server library and in debug mode. First, run the "HXCPP: Setup" command from the command palette (F1) to install the library.

Then the library needs to be included in your project:

• build.hxml:

    -lib hxcpp-debug-server
  

• Lime/OpenFL project.xml:

    <haxelib name="hxcpp-debug-server" />
  

Finally, you need a launch configuration:

{ 
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "HXCPP",
            "type": "hxcpp",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/application.exe"
        }
    ]
}

Replace /bin/application.exe with the path to your executable file.
