Description

Is it possible to use the debugger adaptor and programmatically configure it to communicate through a unix domain socket instead of an IP socket?
I am trying to debug cmake-scripts from within eclipse CDT for cmake4eclipse, but it turns out that cmake listens on a unix domain socket (on linux) or a named pipe (on windows) to communicate via DAP.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the debugger adapter's DAP transport configuration and determine whether it can select a Unix domain socket on Linux or a named pipe on Windows. Done means establishing whether programmatic configuration can support the cmake4eclipse and Eclipse CDT use case, with tests covering the supported transports.
