Debugging

A wide variety of Haxe targets can be debugged with Haxe sources in VSCode:

• HashLink, using the HashLink Debugger extension
• HXCPP, using the HXCPP Debugger extension
• Flash, using the Flash Debugger extension
• JavaScript, using the sourcemaps generated by Haxe and the built-in Node debugger or one of the extensions for remote browser debugging (Chrome, Firefox, ...)

There's also a debugger for Haxe 4's new macro interpreter called "Eval" built directly into vshaxe. This can be used for:

• debugging all the different kinds of macros (build, expression, init)
• debugging programs executed in the interpreter using --interp or --run

With a minimal launch.json, the debugger is started using the haxe specified by the "haxe.executable" setting and with the arguments from the currently selected Haxe Configuration:

{
	"version": "0.2.0",
	"configurations": [
		{
			"name": "Haxe Interpreter",
			"type": "haxe-eval",
			"request": "launch"
		}
	]
}

To override the arguments that are used, you can set "args", for instance "args": ["build.hxml", "--interp"].
