GDB-Run Executable Doesn't Work (VS Code)

I am using VS Code for a C++ Project. I am also using CMake Tools to manage the CMake side of things and my compiler toolchains.

I have two separate compiler kits - i686-w64-mingw32 and x86_64-w64-mingw32 (gcc version 10.1.0).

I have set the gdb.exe path in my launch.json to the path of the 64-bit gdb debugger. This works correctly and I can run and debug with breakpoints as expected.

However, when running the 32-bit executable with the 64-bit debugger, I get no output to my console whatsoever, and the breakpoint is not hit.

What could be the problem?

Don't mix platforms. Debug the 32-bit executable with the 32-bit debugger.
