Launch Debug Instance

This is a launch.json for VS Code on Windows to launch a debug instance of Chatterino with appropriate logging, source-maps, and debug info for Qt.

Qt is expected to be installed at G:\QT in version 6.8.0. The builds are expected to be the official ones. Cache files for debug info are placed in D:\VSSymbolCache. A cloned qtbase (from the appropriate branch) is expected at G:\Dev\qt-source.

qt6.natvis can be obtained by running the following command in PowerShell inside the cloned repo:

(iwr "https://github.com/qt-labs/vstools/raw/dev/QtVsTools.Package/qt6.natvis.xml").Content.Replace('##NAMESPACE##::', '') | Out-File qt6.natvis

For VS Code, you'll need to merge the JSON NatVis manually (some day, I'll automate that).
