b-language-extension README

Compiler support for B via ProB. You don't need your own version of ProB. This plugin comes with one packed. You can, however, provide your own ProB command-line version (aka probcli), but be cautious; this can lead to unexpected and untested behavior. In order to change the probcli version you need to make the change in the settings and restart the extension (open and close vscode).
