In windows, "console": "integratedTerminal" option works better?

[caiohamamura]

In this line, the externalTerminal is hardcoded. But for Windows cl.exe as suggested by the VSCode documentation, at least, this won't work. We have to manually change everytime to integratedTerminal to work, or else the Debugger won't attach.

vscode-cpptools/Extension/src/Debugger/configurationProvider.ts

Line 437 in e394edb

newConfig.console = "externalTerminal";

Can anyone else confirm this, or am I missing something?

If that is true shouldn't the extension check if the user is running cl.exe and use integratedTerminal instead by default?
