Eclipse CDT Debug Adapter Amalgamator

This is a debug adapter that allows common control over multiple debug adapters simulataneously, amalgamating their outputs to provide to VSCode a single Debug Adapter interface.

Using the Amalgamator

The amalgamator is not published and can be run within a VS Code debug session.
