On Linux using lldb-vscode how do I handle getchar() in a CLI app?

[acotty]

On Linux when I use lldb-vscode to debug a simple CLI app with a getchar() in it how should the getchar() work with regards to where it the input from/sourced or sent to the lldb-vscode app being debugged?

I cannot see any terminal like the MSYS2 clang64 Windows lldb-vscode.exe starts.
The DAP protocol does not allow the IDE to send any input to the lldb-vscode.
The lldb-vscode does not sent a RunInTerminalRequest.

Any ideas?

The default configuration for lldb-dap is to use the debug console.
To run it through a teriminal you need to add the runInTerimal option to the launch configuration.

Example.

{
            "type": "lldb-dap",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "lldb-dap Launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/a.out",
            "runInTerminal": true,
            "args": [],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
}
