[cdt-debug-dev] C/C++ Attach to Local App - launch

[John Cortell <john.cortell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm taking a look at the C/C++ Attach to Local Application launch
type for the first time. It seems awkward that the launch config requires
a project and executable. When you're attaching to a process, the
executable of interest is, well, the executable you attach to (which you
pick from a list when you invoke the launch). Additionally, you may not
have an Eclipse project that builds that executable, yet the executable
has debug information and you have the sources on your machine.

Does anyone else see this launch config type as a bad fit? I have some
ideas on a how we could possibly improve on it, but I want to first see
if anyone has an opinion on this, or if someone's already come up with a
better solution.
