+# Windows 10's Windows Subsystem for Linux
+With the release of Windows 10 Creator's Update, you will now be able to use Visual Studio Code and the Microsoft C/C++ extension to debug your `Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)` Bash on Ubuntu projects.
+
+Code can be written on Windows itself using VSCode and debugged through `bash.exe` to the Bash on Windows layer. 
+
+**NOTE: Creator's Update is required due to bugfixes within the subsystem that we rely on to provide debugging. Debugging using a previous version of WSL is unsupported and likely will not work.**
+
+## Prerequisites
+* [Windows 10 Creator's Update with Windows Subsystem for Linux and Bash.](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide)
+* Install g++/gcc and gdb to allow compiling and debugging.
+* [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) + Microsoft C/C++ extension for VSCode.
+
+## How-To
+To debug, commands will be routed from Windows through `bash.exe` to setup debugging. Because our extension runs as a 32-bit process, it will need to use the `C:\Windows\SysNative` folder to access the executable that is normally in `C:\Windows\System32`. We will be using the `"pipeTransport"` ability within the extension to do debugging and `"sourceFileMap"` to map the source from the subsystem's paths back to Windows path. 
+
+**NOTE: Applications will need to be compiled in the `Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)` prior to debugging.**
+
+### Example `launch.json` for Launching
+
+In the following example, I have a local drive, `Z:\` that has my source code within windows for an app called kitchensink. I have setup the `"program"` and `"cwd"` paths to point to the directory within `WSL`. I have setup the `"pipeTransport"` to use `bash.exe`. I have also setup a `"sourceFileMap"` to have everything that is returned by `gdb` that starts with `/mnt/z` to point to `Z:\\` in Windows.

+            "name": "C++ Launch",
+            "type": "cppdbg",
+            "request": "launch",
+            "program": "/mnt/z/Bash/kitchensink/a.out",
+            "args": ["-fThreading"],

+            "externalConsole": true,
+            "windows": {
+                "MIMode": "gdb",
+                "setupCommands": [
+                    {
+                        "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
+                        "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
+                        "ignoreFailures": true
+                    }
+                ]
+            }, 
+            "pipeTransport": {
+                "pipeCwd": "",
+                "pipeProgram": "c:\\windows\\sysnative\\bash.exe",
+                "pipeArgs": ["-c"],

+                "/mnt/z": "z:\\"
+            }
+        }
+```
+
+### Example `launch.json` for Attaching to an Existing Process
+
+This is similar to the launch process for the same app above. I have changed the `"processID"` to use the remote process picker by specifying the command `"${command:pickRemoteProcess}"` and setup the same `"sourceFileMap"`. When I press F5 to attach, I get a picker drop down showing the running processes within `WSL` that I can find the process to which I want to attach.
