Description
This adds Nsight support for automated (without terminal) debugging through our DevContainers. The users should use the CMake Tools VS Code extension (added) to configure and build the default specified target in Debug build mode (
all-dev-debug
CMake Preset added). Then by using the provided debugging option from the left sidebar on VS Code they can set breakpoints in their sources through the UI and step into kernel sources.Note: Only use the left sidebar to initiate debugging. Don't use the bottom line bar with the "bug" button as this will not enable the Nsight extension which enables the UI overview of the CUDA environment (current thread, block etc.).
