Debugging Mixed Python/C++ code in Visual Studio Code
I've tested it on Fedora 23 and Ubuntu 16.04. I'm using gcc-5.3.1, python-3.4, VS Code-1.14.0
You can debug mixed Python/C++ in the same GUI. It also works for MPI applications. You can switch between the debuggers and corresponding call stacks.
1. Packages needed
1) Visual Studio Code
2) Extensions for VS Code:
"Python" from Don Jayamanne (I'm using 0.6.7)
This allows VS Code act as the front end to debug python.
This gives VS Code ability to attach to a python script that uses module "ptvsd".
