Debugging Multithreaded C/C++ Code in Visual Studio Code

Debugging Multithreaded C/C++ Code in Visual Studio Code

Debugging multithreaded C and C++ code can be a nightmare — especially when dealing with race conditions, deadlocks, or complex thread interactions. In this tutorial, we show how to debug C++ and C programs in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) using UDB, a powerful plugin that enables reverse debugging and deep inspection of concurrent code.

Whether you’re a software engineer, backend developer, or just learning C/C++ programming, this video walks through the real-world process of diagnosing and resolving multithreading issues like mutex misuse, data races, and pthreads synchronization problems. We focus on systems programming and concurrency — critical skills for developing reliable and performant software.
