Debugging C programs in Visual Studio Code

Question

I'm trying to debug a C program using Visual Studio Code in Ubuntu.

I set

"program": "${workspaceRoot}/sample"

in the launch.json where "sample" is the name of my program. Then I simply put a breakpoint in code and click the debug arrow. However, the debugger does not hit the breakpoint, a terminal simply flashes and closes. When I hover over my breakpoint it says:

Module containing this breakpoint has not yet loaded or the breakpoint adress could not be obtained.

Is there an additional setting that I must configure ?

There was a similar issue posted here which contains a solution. Does that work for you? — Random Davis

The problem had nothing to do with VS code. I was simply missing the -g tag when compiling the program.
