I've updated the launch config just as you've described and the behavior is exactly as predicted.

Using the old configuration ```yaml "stopAtEntry": "app_main", "autorun": [ "mon reset halt", "thb app_main", "flushregs" ], ``` this now works yes. The only time I can still trigger the "dropped...

Oops my bad, there is no "built-in" GDB integration. I meant Microsoft's own C/C++ extension which comes with debugging features. Using that one pretty-printing "just works" out of the box....

Sure thing. All the examples below were running with GCC 8.2.1, GDB 8.2 and LLDB 6.0.1 So this is what the variable view should look like when pretty-printing is enabled....

Would it be a troublesome to make pretty printing work in the watch view? This would be a great help for people who do a lot of embedded stuff where...

The Cortex-Debug does this: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=marus25.cortex-debug Otherwise you could create a VSCode task to run the GDB server prior to the debugger? VSCode tasks can be added by using the "preLaunchTask"...
