How to run the debuggee in the debug console or in the integrated terminal

[weinand]

I would like to debug a C++ program on linux without installing any additional terminal emulators like Gnome Terminal or XTerm.

Setting "externalConsole" to false doesn't help.

Is there a way to configure the debug session so that it uses VS Code's debug console or the integrated terminal?

@weinand not at this time. We have a backlog item to do the work. (#35)

@pieandcakes thanks!
Please note, that using the integrated terminal is really trivial since VS Code does all the heavy lifting. Just send a "runInTerminal" DAP request from your adapter back to VS Code and you are in business.

Needs to be re-tested given that the C++ issue is fixed.
