[lldb-dev] Host::LaunchProcess vs. ProcessPlugin::DoLaunch

[Greg Clayton]

You should be implementing the launching in your Host layer one time:

    static Error
    Host::LaunchProcess (ProcessLaunchInfo &launch_info);

Then you should be using this in your ProcessPluginWindows plug-in.

What do I need to understand about the differences between these two codepaths to make sure I implement the two correctly?  And is there perhaps a way to refactor some of this code so that all of the process-spawning code lives in the same place, and the launch args are flexible enough to support all of the different use cases?
