Attaching via SSH

[andyneff]

Is attaching to a running process via ssh (connecting to a Linux server from Windows in my case) currently possible? I was able to get launching working (with #78 still there)

If it is not currently possible, is this a feature you are interested in adding? I'm very interested in this scenario as it is the only way to debug my current infrastructure.

Oh right that isn't actually implemented yet. Might do it in the future.

Relevant code for this starts at https://github.com/WebFreak001/code-debug/blob/master/src/gdb.ts#L110 and basically only needs some argument in the current ssh function to support this. Then the code should be the same for the LLDB module.

lldb didn't really work, maybe in the future

@konstantin-mephi A lot had changed over the years.

VSCode's remote debugger has kinda gone off the deep end recently via installing a server on the remote system, but you can look at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh and see if this works for you.

on code-debug side this hasn't been implemented, though you might have some success with alternative methods like that remote debugging.
