Visual Studio Code ignores debug symbols - c

Question

I'm trying to debug C using visual studio code on a Mint VM, code is as follows:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int numargs, char* argvector[])
{
printf("test\n");
return(0);
}
Compiled with:
gcc test.c -g -o test
based on the output of ls -l, I can verify that gcc is adding symbols.
When I attempt to debug this program using vs-code using the C/C++ extension, I receive the following error:
Warning: Debuggee TargetArchitecture not detected, assuming x86_64.
=cmd-param-changed,param="pagination",value="off"
Stopped due to shared library event (no libraries added or removed)
Loaded '/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2'. Symbols loaded.
Breakpoint 1, main (numargs=1, argvector=0x7fffffffdd18) at test.c:5
5 printf("test\n");
[Inferior 1 (process 8322) exited normally]
The program '/home/ccsd/test/test' has exited with code 0 (0x00000000).
gcc version: 5.4.0 20160609
vs-c version: 1.24.1
my launch.json file is as follows:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "(gdb) Launch",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/grow",
"processName": "grow",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": true,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
]
}
]
}
You may note that this is not a duplicate of Stopped due to shared library event - Visual Studio Code because I am already using the -g switch.
I would like to know how I can fix this. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Assuming the use of "additionalSOLibSearchPath" option of launch.json did not help, the following setting might add a shared library into gdb's consideration:
"setupCommands":[
{
"description": "Additional libs for gdb",
"text": "set solib-search-path sharedLibraryPath/lib"
}
]
PS: gdb may still raise Stopped due to shared library event (no libraries added or removed) warning, nevertheless.
