* Description
Experimental integrated visual debugger using [[https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/api-debugging][Debug Adapter Protocol]].

[[https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/api-debugging][Debug Adapter Protocol]] is a wire protocol for communication between client and
Debug Server. It similar to the [[https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol][LSP]] but providers integration with debug
server.

** Features:
Fully featured IDE-like debugger providing:
- Launch/Attach
- Breakpoints
- Exceptions
- Pause & Continue
- Step In/Out/Over
- Callstacks
- Threads
- Multiple simultaneous debug sessions
- Evaluating statements
- Debug/Run configurations
- Debug REPL

* Layer installation
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =dap= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.

* Configuration
** Derived layers
Derived layer should provide information how to configure the language
specific debug adapter and the language specific bindings(e. g. debug
application, debug test, etc). The package declares function
~spacemacs/dap-bind-keys-for-mode~ which should be used by the derived layers
to configure the shortcuts.

*** Declared prefixes
The following prefixes have been declared:

| prefix      | name              |
|-------------+-------------------|
| ~SPC m d~   | debug             |
| ~SPC m d d~ | launching         |
| ~SPC m d b~ | breakpoints       |
| ~SPC m d l~ | debug windows     |
| ~SPC m d S~ | context switching |
| ~SPC m d e~ | eval              |
| ~SPC m d I~ | inspect           |

*** Default key bindings
The default bindings are listed below. Derived layers should extend this list:
