Description John Dallaway CLA 2022-02-10 12:52:50 EST 
The "C/C++ Remote Application" launch delegate cannot be used with a local connection on a Windows host at present. Known issues include:

* The check for an absolute path of the remote application does not accommodate Windows-style paths commencing with a logical drive letter.

* The LocalCommandShellService returns a cmd.exe process on Windows hosts, but the gdbserver launch command line assumes a Unix-style shell (eg multiple commands are separated by the ';' character).

* The console view presents raw control sequences when using cmd.exe. It appears that ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING may not be set.
