I wonder if some of this the part about reading process info from /proc could be upstreamed into Ghidra?
The hack to get the Unix process ID from wine apps is also impressive, it feels like there should be an API for this, maybe wine could provide a mapping under /proc if launched with some parameter.
I can see this being useful for all sorts of things.
Hello, author here! Winedbg's built-in GDB server is more limited than gdbserver.exe -- importantly, the 'remote get' functionality isn't implemented.
$ winedbg --gdb hello-win32.exe
[...]
Wine-gdb> info proc mappings
Can't determine the current process's PID: you must name one.
Wine-gdb> shell pidof hello-win32.exe
1883212
Wine-gdb> info proc mappings 1883212
process 1883212
warning: unable to open /proc file '/proc/1883212/maps'
Wine-gdb> remote get /proc/1883212/maps /dev/stdout
Remote I/O error: Function not implemented
Considering that gdbserver.exe is packaged for Ubuntu as gdb-mingw-w64-target, there's not many reasons to use Winedbg's GDB mode.
Interesting, yeah I did notice limitations in WineGDB before. I guess there's not much reason to use it unless there's something preventing you from running gdbserver.exe within wine.
