Summary

  • Adds TTDAttachDialog for attaching TTD.exe to running processes (closes TTD tracing should support attaching to a running process and start tracing #600)
  • Adds "Attach and Record TTD Trace" menu action under Debugger > TTD submenu
  • Adds command line column to process list for better process identification
  • Updates DbgEngAdapter to use Windows APIs for local process enumeration to get command line information

Changes

  • ui/ttdrecord.cpp/h: New TTDAttachDialog class with process list, output directory, and trace child processes options
  • ui/attachprocess.cpp/h: Added command line column to ProcessListModel and ProcessItem
  • ui/ui.cpp: Added menu action for "Attach and Record TTD Trace"
  • core/adapters/dbgengadapter.cpp: Uses Windows APIs (CreateToolhelp32Snapshot, NtQueryInformationProcess) for local process enumeration with command lines
  • core/debugadapter.h, api/debuggerapi.h, api/ffi.h: Added m_commandLine field to DebugProcess struct
  • core/ffi.cpp, api/debuggercontroller.cpp: Updated FFI layer to pass command line through

Test plan

  • Open Binary Ninja with debugger
  • Go to Debugger > TTD > Attach and Record TTD Trace
  • Verify process list shows with PID, Name, and Command Line columns
  • Select a process and click Accept to attach TTD.exe to it
  • Verify regular "Attach To Process" dialog also shows command line column

Make process list dialogs wider by default

Increase minimum width from 450/500 to 800 pixels for AttachProcessDialog
and TTDAttachDialog to better display the command line column.
