Type: General

  • OS and Version: Arch Linux
  • VS Code Version: Code-OSS 1.37.1
  • C/C++ Extension Version: 0.25.1

I tried all three "g++ build and debug active file". Options 1 and 2 generates the same launch.json and tasks.json; option 3 creates a slightly different launch.json file ("miDebuggerPath": "/bin/gdb" instead of "/usr/bin/gdb").

In any case, this is confusing.
