[lldb-dev] How to get SBTarget before AttachToProcessWithID?

[Pavel Labath via lldb-dev]

Hi,

it's a bit un-intuitive, but you should be able to create a target
with a null pointer for the executable, and use that to attach (see
CommandObjectProcessAttach::DoExecute).

BTW, if you find the existing API documentation too vague, we'd be
happy to accept any improvements.

cheers,
pl
