FYI, the cpptools and cpptools-srv binaries are built for x64, so they may run slower and/or use more battery via running in an emulated mode compared to native arm64 binaries would. |

Same with the debugger binaries. The mono runtime shipped is built for macOS x64 and same with the lldb-mi that is built. |

Also note that some default IntelliSense configuration may need to be modified, as these settings are based on the host architecture, platform, and available compiler. |

It seems that cpptools and cpptools-srv are close-sourced (or I don't know where to fetch their code). Hope that native arm64 version binaries will be online soon. Thanks for all of your work! |

Since arm64 and x86 macOS should have identical C++ support and features, I simply modified the if-condition in the activation() function at main.ts to allow the extension to work on my M1-chip Macbook. Now it has worked for 1 week with no error.
