fjricci added a comment.

Would it be better to add a test in the same commit or a separate one?

My concern with doing it this way was that ProcessGDBRemote::ConnectToDebugserver() seems to implicitly require a `connect://...` url, and I didn't want to risk breaking future changes. However, it still works correctly if I pass a `listen://...` url, so it seems like a reasonable change.

I had considered that, but wasn't sure whether parsing the direction out of the url string every time it was needed would be better or worse than passing it around as a bool. I'll make the change.
