Could you just use `gdb --pid 53165 /proc/53165/exe`?

Probably - will try it out next week and adjust my GitHub script if it works.

If that works, is there any reason why gdb shouldn't automatically use the /proc/PID/exe?

I wonder, too... It could pick it up automatically.

Probably because /proc is very Linux-specific, and gdb is not.

I recently did exactly the same, it's those times when everything with similar functionality depending on what context you are in blurs together because you should probably be outside, taking a walk, or staring at a tree.

However, reaching for one way of doing things when the justification for the other way of doing things is because you've seen them done that way more, is not really good justification. So maybe that blurry brain is a good brain sometimes, in retrospect.

:-)

Hey, working code is the only justification you need :)
