PS1:

This looks a bit dangerous. […]

the current problem is that you always have to specify either the address or the path for all the simtrace tools. That's annoying as the address and path changes every time you plug the device itno some other socket of your computer.

For all those users that only have a single simtrace connected, it is inconvenient having to specify those parameters all the time.

Even with this patch the application must explicitly request this behavior by not providing a path (strlen == 0) and by not providing an address (0). So any application that specifies either a path or an address will not have the automatic selection.
