I tried both of those but neither seemed to work out of the gate. 
I didn't take notes but my vague memory is that VisualD wasn't 
picking up some local dub dependecies and/or something to do with 
32-bit COFF linkage, and VSCode seemed to be trying to debug but 
it wouldn't show me a stack trace of my own code, just telling me 
it didn't have symbols for some Windows kernel DLL.

I definitely need to sit down with one or both of those to 
understand how to get them to work in the future, because I lost 
way too much time to such a small issue!
