Is there an existing request for this?

Feature Request

I have tried to use "gdb-oneapi" instead of using plain "gdb" following this doc from Intel:
oneapi user guide vs code

But, when I set a breakpoint in the code, the exec seems to stop there but there is no cursor. So, can't do anything.

Is it possible to have "Modern Fortran" vscode extension work with "gdb-oneapi"?

It's kind of important since "gdb" doesn't seem to be compatible with ifx 2024 (can't step into subroutines).

This is on linux wsl2.

Intel oneAPI's GDB and normal GDB should be compatible when swapped in the debug options. We don't maintain any code for the debugging capabilities, it comes straight from the C/C++ extension.

Btw the oneAPI GDB does not work everywhere, pulled from their docs

NOTE: Intel® Distribution for GDB* does not currently support VS Code. You can use upstream gdb to debug. Debugging a local Windows host using VS Code is not supported. Debugging a local Linux host on CPU is supported using VS Code, but debugging on GPU requires a remote host. Debugging a remote Linux target from Windows or Linux host is supported using VS Code.

It's been a while but I've successfully made it work with Fortran and C++ projects under Linux and WSL, if you share your launch.json details I can provide some guidance.
From what I know the extension intel-corporation.oneapi-gdb-debug is not-maintained anymore.

Please provide more details with your launch.json. I shall be moving this to a Discussion
