CodeLLDB is a VSCode extension providing a native-code debugger powered by LLDB, with a Rust-based adapter. It supports C++, Rust, and other compiled languages with features like conditional breakpoints, watchpoints, disassembly stepping, memory views, Python scripting, and remote debugging for embedded targets.

Use cases

  • debug c++ programs in vscode
  • debug rust applications with lldb
  • set conditional breakpoints and watchpoints in vscode
  • step through disassembly at instruction level
  • remotely debug embedded arm or riscv targets
  • visualize std library types like vectors and maps while debugging
  • debug zig or swift code in vscode

When to choose

  • you debug C++, Rust, or other compiled languages in VS Code
  • you need LLDB features like watchpoints, logpoints, or reverse debugging
  • you debug embedded targets via remote debugging
  • you want built-in visualizers for std library types

When to avoid

  • you debug JavaScript, TypeScript, or Node.js (built-in VS Code support suffices)
  • you prefer GDB-based debugging (use cpptools or other GDB extensions)
  • you don't use VS Code
