VSCode Extension APIs

This file is an overview over all the Extension APIs of VSCode that are used.

Debugger Extension API

This is the main part that this extension provides. In extension.ts the debugger is registered and created. debugAdapter.ts launches venusDebug.ts which incorporates the Debug Adapter Protocoll.

Command API

A reasonable amount of functionality is exposed to commands. Commands are delcared in package.json and registered on extension activation in extension.ts

Tree View We utilize the tree view api to show our custom menu in the debugger. See venusMenu.ts

Webview API

We utilize Webviews for most custom views. This includes ledmatrix, memoryui, robot, sevensegboard.

Virtual Documents

We use this api to create our assemblyView.ts

Text Decorator

This is used to highlight the current line in the assembly view, see assemblyDecorator.ts

Task API

We use tasks to expose our automated build files. See Development Wiki.

VSCode Test API

We implemented the test suite but dont use tests yet.

Pseudoterminal API

This API is used to create our venusTerminal.ts.
