To attach to WSL processes programmatically, you can approach this task by leveraging the existing functionality in Visual Studio. Here's a general guideline based on what you shared:
- Access the Debugger: You’ll want to work with the
IVsDebugger
interface, which provides methods to start debugging sessions. - Configure the Connection Type: You need to specify
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
as the connection type. This is crucial because it directs the debugger to work with WSL. - Attach to the Process: While
LaunchDebugTargets4
is typically used for launching new debugging sessions, you will likely want to look into methods similar toAttachToProcess
, making sure you can specify the WSL distribution you need to attach to. - Set up the Configuration: Create a debug launch configuration that matches how you set it up in the Visual Studio UI. This includes specifying any necessary parameters for processes running inside the WSL environment. The exact details may depend on the SDK version and the specifics of the process you're debugging.
