Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

Just this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52981423/can-visual-studio-code-use-gdb-to-attach-to-process-without-the-program-proper

The program field must be filled in, which means I cannot just create a single attach debugging configuration to debug various different programs. Actually GDB can automatically handling this according to the specified PID.
