- Implement debug configurations that will build the active C/C++ file and launch a debugger
- Add command to run the configuration
- Modify build tasks to resolve the compiler via PATH instead of hard-coding path

Is there a way we can use the vscode API to write to this file? I would like to avoid losing existing comments in the file and it might be a bit of work to parse them out ourselves. Perhaps the jsonc parser can help us out, but I'm unfamiliar with the API.

I'm not sure! One possible solution is to invoke the "Configure Tasks" command, however it will pop up a quickpick menu for the user to select, and as far as I know the command itself doesn't take any arguments (gross). Otherwise the VS Code API does not expose any means as far as my research goes.
Another idea is to look at how VS Code does it to derive some possible solutions.

This will likely fail. We should probably use the jsonc parser instead.

I disabled the debug and launch. |
