macOS - "Unable to find GDB in default search path and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/lldb."

I receive this error message when selecting CMake: Debug.

Unable to find GDB in default search path and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/lldb.

Xcode 15.3 doesn't place lldb at that location. Is there a way to configure cmake-tools with the location of lldb?

I couldn't find any examples of using cmake.debugConfig, but setting it to this got me going:

    "cmake.debugConfig": {
        "type": "cppdbg",
        "MIMode": "lldb"
    }

Is there a way to add /usr/bin/lldb to the default search path? The documentation for debugConfig specifies a configuration but not in what form, and I couldn't find any online example. I'm still not clear if I'm doing it "correctly."

#514 Seems to track this as well. I'll close this in favor of tracking it there. If you have additional context from this discussion that you'd like to add to that issue, please feel free and vote on the issue. Thanks!
