vscode-cmake-tools default debugger config `cmake.debugConfig` unable to adapt GDB and lldb simultaneously

[WittonBell]

vscode-cmake-tools has its own debugging configuration in settings.json. When we click the debugging button in the status bar, if we configure our own configuration in settings.json, it will enable our own configuration instead of the default configuration.

Meanwhile, VSCode will determine which debugger to start based on the currently selected compiler. GCC will start GDB, while Clang will start lldb mi or lldb.

Sometimes it may be necessary to configure different startup commands for different debuggers, which can result in the command of another debugger in the configuration not being executed correctly after switching the debuggers, and thus unable to start the debuggers.

for example, cmake.debugConfig in settings.json for lldb:

{
	"cmake.debugConfig": {
		"setupCommands": [
			{
				"text": "settings set target.disable-aslr false",
			}
		],
	},
}

Due to the inability to configure for different debuggers, switching the debugger to GDB, click the debugging button in the status bar:

@WittonBell You should be able to specifically set the MIDebuggerPath and the MIMode in your settings.json.

Do these settings not work for you?

[WittonBell]

@gcampbell-msft Because we need to adapt to the debugger automatically selected when switching compilers, we cannot configure MIMode and MIDebuggerPath here, Instead, use the default configuration.

@WittonBell Thank you for the clarification, we will add this to our backlog.
