try to set breakpoint in main.cpp (doesn't work)

Go to extensions, install cpptools, then I'm able to set a breakpoint.

This repository is meant to be an example of a functional C++ editor environment using Dev Containers. If you use a tool that interacts with the devcontainer.json specification (such as VS Code's Dev Containers extension or the Dev Containers reference CLI implementation), it should work.

The Dev Container file in this repository should install the C++ tools extension for you.
