• OS and version: Windows 11
• VS Code: 1.88.1

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:
When remotely debugging, vscode is unable to restart gdbserver when clicking the "restart" icon on the debug menu.
The remote gdbserver exits and is never relaunched. It must be relaunched manually over SSH to re-initate a debugging session.

This extension should restart gdbserver on the remote.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start gdbserveron the remote gdbserver :<port> <path/to/bin>
2. Connect to gdbserver from vscode
3. Debug
4. Click the "Restart" button in the debugger menu
5. gdbserver exits on the remote and vscode displays the attached error.

Any news on this ?

[Wajahat Riaz]

Did you try that bindto thing. Maybe it works for you. Specify hostname or IPv4 address on which to listen for incoming TCP/IP connections. By default, OpenOCD will listen on the loopback interface only. If your network environment is safe, bindto 0.0.0.0 can be used to cover all available interfaces. Simply add it to your config file and let me know if it works.
