I did prepare my first patch(es) with vscode. For debugging, I set up
vscode to launch gcc with gdbserver as wrapper and then let the vscode
debugger to connect to the gdbserver. At first, I tried to get the gnu
coding style to work in the hacky way by using tabSize=8 and rebinding
tab to 2 spaces but later ditched that because it bothered me more than
doing just spaces and replacing 8 spaces with 1 tab before sending the
patch. That still wastes time because all files that I didn't touch
look ugly unless I temporarily change the tabSize and some comments
don't use tabs so I can't just replace all 8 spaces with 1 tab. For
reference, my config files for gcc are available at [0].
