Hi,
I see that the documentation for lldb-dap refers to a ${command.pickMyProcess}
which can be used for interactive process selection within the VS Code IDE. It
appears that this functionality no longer works, perhaps due to internal
changes in VS Code.
I can get interactive process selection if I add the following snippet to the
lldp-dap extension package.json:
```
"variables": {
"pickProcess": "extension.pickNativeProcess"
},
```
However, referencing extension.pickNativeProcess here is only valid if the
Microsoft VSCode CPPTools extension is installed, as that is the extension that
registers a native process picker under the name 'extension.pickNativeProcess'
I'm not sure if it's desirable behaviour for the lldb-dap extension to be
dependent on the presence of the Microsoft CPPTools extension?
It appears (although I am not familiar with VSCode extension development) that
any solution to this that was fully integrated in the lldp-dap extension would
require typescript source to be added to the extension in order to register a
private native process picker under a custom name - something like
`extension.lldb-dap.pickNativeProcess`. I would assume that this implementation
would look very similar, if not identical to the command currently exposed by
the Microsoft CPPTools extension.
In the PR I have included the minimal changes required to seemingly make the
process picker work when the Microsoft VSCode CPPTools extension is also
installed.
What are the recommendations on how we could proceed here?
Thanks!
