VSCode extn extension 'GDB with GPU Debug Support for Intel oneAPI Toolkit' breaks debugging

Illya — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 10:54:18 GMT

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS 64bit

Platform: Latitude 7320, 16Gb RAM, Intel i71185G7, GPU Mesa Intel Xe TGLGt2

Visual Studio Code: 1.71.2

Visual Studio Code extensions: Microsoft C/C++ pack, all Intel oneAPI extension except 'GDB with GPU Debug Support for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits'

Intel oneAPI toolkits: Base + necessary prerequisites given in the setup instructions

Context: Using an Intel oneAPI code example simple-add, a project is setup to build the two code samples buffers and usm. Using the DPC++ compiler to build debug executables (-O0 optimisation), they work and execute as expected. Set up debug session (see launch.json below), the debug sessions using gdb-oneapi can step over or into lines of code in the DPC++ sample using the Visual Studio Code debug panel.

The problem in brief: Install extension ''GDB with GPU Debug Support for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits' causes any debug session using either gcc+gdb for normal C++ code or DPC++ +gdb-oneAPI for Dpc++ code to break with the error "Stopping due to fatal error: ProtocolException: Cannot evaluate expression on the specified stack frame.". Uninstall the extension and back to being able to debug successfully again.

Is the extension broken or do I need a missing prerequisite?
