It really depends on what you are connecting to. For desktop, they will all 
probably be similar. But when a bare board JTAG connection lists the processes 
(which in the bare board case means core groups), then they might have some 
differences.

This could be implemented, but we will need to make sure that any plug-ins that 
use ProcessLaunchInfo and ProcessAttachInfo doesn't require anything from the 
ProcessDetails class, or if they do, have some sort of llvm::dyn_cast operator 
to they can extra the required details from PosixProcessDetails or 
WindowsProcessDetails directly.

Feel free to submit a patch by specializing the details into classes as you 
state above. If these details aren't needed for attaching or launching, then I 
guess this will just help pretty printing. Is your motivation to avoid seeing 
the extra posix style info in some dumps?
