[Bug 1990729] Re: gdb crashes when run from VSCode

[Lowell Boggs]

The above error seemed to be some kind of documentation problem, so I tried just running 
   make -k
To ignore errors and everything else make ok.  However, I am not able to figure out where the gdb executable is so that I can test it before running "make install".

Here are the places that I found non-script executables:

gdb: find . -executable -type f | grep -v '\.sh$\|\.py$' | xargs file | grep -v ASCII

gdb: 

Is one of these the gdb executable so I can test it?  Thanks

Title:
  gdb crashes when run from VSCode

Status in gdb package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had no pre-existing breakpoints in VSCode, then added a breakpoint,
  and used F5 to run the debugger to the one breakpoint.  It crashed
  before it got there.  This is a C++ executable compiled for debugging
  using CMAKE.  I can successfully debug the program using the TUI mode
  of gdb, so I think the problem likes in the vscode interface to gdb.

  A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
  further debugging may prove unreliable.
