I've filed enhancement request
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=400033
after some more investigation. I'd ideally propose an extension point to contribute
a "remote process path converter" which takes the remote path or filename from
the process picker and either returns null (cannot convert, please ask by dialog) or
an absolute path on the local host (or the gdb-host if gdb is executed through ssh)
if conversion succeeds.
The issue is easy to reproduce even on a single local Linux system (compile
gdb-7.5.1 from source, run "gdbserver --multi :2345" on local host, attach to
it through the gdbserver method).
I think it would be a huge improvement for debugging processes on remote systems.
Thanks,
Martin
