Qt VS Code Extensions Manual Tests Debugger

This is about catching the Qt types not properly understood by the debugger.

Found problems are to be reported in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/VSCODEEXT-154?filter=27222

Auto test is meant to replace the manual testing

Pre-requisit	Result	Annotation
Have VS code installed (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/setup-overview)
Have a Qt installation (https://account.qt.io/s/downloads)
Have the Qt C++ Extension Pack installed, a Qt installation registered

The natvis files and the related test files are located in the qt-labs/vs-debugtools repo. This is the debugging_helpers vscodeext submodule.

To use the latest vs-debugtools, use a local vscodeext. To set up everything, run:

npm ci
git submodule update --init --remote --recursive
npm run prepareNatvisFiles
npm run all_dev

To access the test files, open debugging_helper and make sure .vscode/setting.json has:

"cmake.useCMakePresets": "never"

since CMakePresets are not supported and block Qt kit visibility (ongoing).

Select a Qt kit.

In test-app/main.cpp, place a break point at the return call.

Check that the debugger output is as expected.

This is a work in progress, need to use the latest natvis files from https://github.com/narnaud/natvis4qt (to be moved to qt-labs/vs-debugtools QTVSADDINBUG-1310)

QBasicAtomicInteger	Problem or adapt expectation	Type is QAtomicOps<int> instead of QBasicAtomicInteger<int> In Raw View value type is <int> instead of std::atomic<int>
QBasicAtomicPointer	Adapt expectation?	Raw View type is QBasicAtomicPointer<void>::AtomicType instead of QBasicAtomicPointer<void>
QChar QChar_Latin1	Adapt expectations. Problem?	Raw View is not as expected. No latin 1 nor unicode, only ucs. The type and value of ucs are as expected. Need to check those of latin 1 and unicode though.
QChar QChar_non_Latin1	Adapt expectations.	See QChar_Latin1, values are not as expected
QPair<int, int>		type show is QPair<int, int> instead of expected std::pair<int,int> }
