** Summary
  Emacs client/library for [[https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/][Debug Adapter Protocol]] is a wire protocol for
  communication between client and Debug Server. It's similar to the [[https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol][LSP]] but
  provides integration with debug server.
*** Project status
   The API considered unstable until 1.0 release is out. It is tested against
   Java, Python, Ruby, Elixir and LLDB (C/C++/Objective-C/Swift).
** Usage
  The main entry points are ~dap-debug~ and ~dap-debug-edit-template~. The first
  one asks for a registered debug template and starts the configuration using
  the default values for that particular configuration. The latter creates a
  debug template which could be customized before running.
  ~dap-debug-edit-template~ will prepare a template declaration inside a
  temporary buffer. You should execute this code using ~C-M-x~ for the changes to
  apply. You should also copy this code into your Emacs configuration if you wish to
  make it persistent.

  dap-mode also provides a [[https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra][hydra]] with ~dap-hydra~. You can automatically trigger
  the hydra when the program hits a breakpoint by using the following code.
  
  #+BEGIN_SRC elisp 
  (add-hook 'dap-stopped-hook
            (lambda (arg) (call-interactively #'dap-hydra)))
  #+END_SRC
  
*** Docker usage
    You can also use this tool with dockerized debug servers: configure it either with a ~.dir-locals~ file
    or drop an ~.lsp-docker.yml~ configuration file (use [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-docker][lsp-docker]] for general reference).
    Basically you have one function ~dap-docker-register~ that performs all the heavy lifting (finding the original debug template,
    patching it, registering a debug provider e.t.c). This function examines a configuration file or falls back to the default configuration
    (which can be patched using the ~.dir-locals~ approach, take a note that the default configuration doesn't provide any sane defaults for debugging)
    and then operates on the combination of the two. This mechanism is the same as in ~lsp-docker~.

    Note: currently you cannot use this mode when using a network connection to connect to debuggers (this part is yet to be implemented).
    Still want to talk to debuggers over network? In order to do so you have to look at the ~launch-args~ patching
    done by ~dap-docker--dockerize-start-file-args~, you have to somehow assign ~nil~ to ~dap-server-path~ before it is passed further into session creation.
    
    If you want to stick to a configuration file, take a look at the example below:
    
    #+begin_src yaml
    lsp:
      server:
        # 'lsp-docker' fields
      mappings:
        - source: "/your/host/source/path" # used both by 'lsp-docker' and 'dap-docker'
          destination: "/your/local/path/inside/a/container" # used both by 'lsp-docker' and 'dap-docker'
      debug:
        type: docker # only docker is supported
        subtype: image # or 'container'
        name: <docker image or container that has the debugger in> # you can omit this field
        # in this case the 'lsp-docker' ('server' section) image name is used
        enabled: true # you can explicitly disable 'dap-docker' by using 'false'
        provider: <your default language debug provider, double quoted string>
        template: <your default language debug template, double quoted string>
        launch_command: <an explicit command if you want to override a default one provided by the debug provider>
        # e.g. if you have installed a debug server in a different directory, not used with 'container' subtype debuggers
    #+end_src
