No support for /proc/self/mem #547
Comments
Thanks for reporting this! I'm curious, though -- do you have an example of a program that does this? /proc/self/mem seems like a cool feature but I've never actually seen it in use. |
@aseering I'm late by a year, but it's often used in debuggers to access the target's virtual memory. |
Examples of changing memory in another process do not work, because there is no mem file.
|
Another practical example: |
We have a debugger that uses /proc/[pid]/mem. |
7 years later Microsoft still hasn't fixed this in WSL 1 👎 |
Many tools and utilities expect to be able to access process memory via /proc/self/mem.
Please consider adding this functionality to WSL.
