[POLL] Drop MSVC debugger support #4

Closed
opened 2026年02月26日 12:24:28 +01:00 by FalsePattern · 1 comment

As of writing, zig on windows + clion can be debugged via both lldb and gdb without issues.

The MSVC debugger support was a stopgap solution relying on hacky workarounds but now it can be safely dropped to reduce the plugin's complexity and potential for dependency rot.

Vote up this message if you're okay with this, and vote down if you're not. If you vote down, please explain your use case for the msvc debugger over lldb/gdb.

This poll will run until 2026年03月06日 23:59 UTC+0, after which i will look over the responses and decide on what action to take.
