IDE: VSCode tasks, intellisense and debug config generator

[rleh]

• Fix copy-paste mistake in scons build system docs
• scons openocd command added
• :ide:vscode module generates VSCode tasks, intellisense and debug config file

Thanks!

[rleh]

I'm thinking about adding a scons openocd command to the modm:build:scons module as a counterpart to the scons debug-remote command. What do you think?

[rleh]

scons openocd command

That is one step to provide ready-to-use a VSCode debugger integration.
Actually this is not useful for VSCode integration, but in other cases.

Nice!

@rleh It was suggested by @salkinium to also add the openocd command for the other build systems. Should we have that as well?

[salkinium]

I'll add some changes in a fixup commit

Oh, missed that comment.
I can do that, but since all the *-remote commands are only implemented for SCons the openocd command will probably be used almost exclusively together with SCons.

I really want a :ide:vscode module, even if it only does debug for now ;-P

The first two commits should be squashed and the commit msg should be adapted due to :build:vscode-debug not being correct anymore

Good point, then leave it like that.

I can currently think of only two features that would improve integration with VSCode:

• lbuild (project.xml) language support, this requires a vscode extension, ideally published on the official extension marketplace.
• Show documentation on hover Already works:

(But we should probably inject the module documentation somehow into the generated source code.)

[salkinium]

This module is not a Visual Studio Code integration in any way

It is now 😜 I played around with this and found it quite useful.

I've added:

• wrappers for the SCons and Make build system, only compiling and uploading though.
• a configuration file for IntelliSense so that it knows the compiler systems headers, the defines and include paths. This is better, since you get the actual system headers from the right compiler toolchain, rather than from your PC.
• an RTT config, that unfortunately does not work due to some sad issues in their implementation (it's distabled for now).

I think that's as much as we can get out of VSCode without writing a custom extension.

Could you test this and tell me if this works for you? I have not defaulted the release build task, since in order to get to the other build tasks (upload) you have to use your mouse in the menu (Terminal -> Run Task...), where as now you can do Ctl+Shift+B to select the task you want to execute.

Approve ✅

Squashed a little and fixed some indentation. 🚀
