Linux ARM support

[atilimcetin]

Is it possible to add support for Linux on ARM CPUs?

Do you mean running VS Code on ARM CPUs? That doesn't work as far as I know. You can target an ARM CPU for debugging.

I've built VS Code on ARM Linux and can use it without any problem. But cpptools is not working well because Microsoft.VSCode.CPP.Extension.linux is a x86-64 binary. I wonder if there is a way to obtain ARM version of that executable.

Ok, that's interesting to know. It's theoretically possible to add, but we're not planning to currently (it hasn't shown up enough in our telemetry).

[atilimcetin]

I understand. Thank you.

At the moment of writing there are unofficial vscode builds for raspi and I had to use one to deploy some hotfixes on my app. Having this addon available in such build would simplify stuff when cross-compiling is out of option.
