Debugger: Window main.dbgasm isn't reloaded after change in source code

[mirao]

Steps to reproduce:

• Debug main application main.S (Press F5)
• Debugger pauses on the first instruction at entry point (Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at src/main.S:35)
• Disassembly => Switch to assembly
• Stop debugger (Shift + F5)
• Switch to main.S window
• Insert an instruction as the first one in program's entry point, e.g. NOP
• Debug again (F5)
• Debugger pauses at NOP
• Disassembly => Switch to assembly

Expected result:

• window main.dbgasm is refreshed and you can see NOP there

Expected result:

• window main.dbgasm is not refreshed.

Workaround:

• close window main.dbgasm
• and click to "Disassembly => Switch to assembly" again
• it works but it's impractical to do it after any change in source

Used SW:

• PlatformIO, version 3.6.7
• VSCode 1.35.1
• Ubuntu 19.04

Used HW:

• STM32F407G-DISC1, CPU Cortex-M4

Is it possible without recompilation?

[mirao]

Not sure what you mean. If I press F5 after a change in code, it is always recompiled.
