[cdt-debug-dev] Launching the debugger/perspective on a PID

[Nathan DeBardeleben <ndebard@xxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to, within code, switch to the debug perspective and debug a 
process which is already executing - I have its PID.
I see in the CDT code places where this is possible though there are all 
sorts of configuration and related classes floating around that I feel 
leery around jumping in and calling these methods - many are protected 
anyway.

Can anyone explain to me how to do this?  In pseudo-code I'm thinking 
something like:

int pid = pid_of_currently_executing_process;
launchDebuggerAndPerspectiveOnPID(pid);

Surely it's not this simple, but I assume CDT was built in such a way as 
the above is remotely possible.

I'd really appreciate any help on this that can be provided.

Thanks so much.
