Any C/C++ debugger available for m1 right now?

I'm trying to debug a C++ code in Visual Studio Code(Apple Silicon Version). Have installed gcc with homebrew(native version), building and running works fine, but while debugging VSCode doesn't launch the file(I'm using Debug using C++/GDB option which comes with the C/C++ extension in the launch.json). I think this is because I don't have GDB installed(checked it via terminal, not installed). On Homebrew website it doesn't show an option for gdb for Apple Silicon. So is there a C++ debugger for m1 yet?

Had you installed Xcode 12.4 and/or the command-line tools for Xcode 12.4, you would have the clang/clang++ compiler, and the lldb debugger that would either allow you to debug visually (Xcode) or in the Terminal. These tools support arm64 builds and debugging.

See Apple's Debugging tools.

This is an Apple support website. You aren't using any Apple development software. If you have questions about those products, contact Microsoft, GNU, or Homebrew. While you are waiting for a reply (and trust me, you will be waiting a long, long, long time), you can download and use Xcode instead.
