Vscode-cpptools: Feature Request: GDB extended-remote Support

[timedroid]

Type: Debugger

Please add support for connecting to a gdbserver started with the "--multi" argument. Allow users to choose from a list of remote processes to debug.

Ideally this would not even require a local copy of the executable (as GDB could download it from the target if it's not stripped) and be able to attach all child processes as well.

See issue #78 for more context.

@timedroid I'll add this as a feature request and see how many requests we get for it.

This will necessitate changes in MI Engine.

I would also love to see this happening - quite helpful in debugging ARM targets.

[RohitMoni]

I'd really like this too: helps with setting up debugging for applications involving multiple docker containers running simultaneous processes.

I am also interested in this

For those debugging ARM targets, have a look at the Cortex-debug addon for now.
