Re: [reverse/record] adjust_pc_after_break in reverse execution mode?
Sorry I send too much Email. I found that:
if (singlestep_breakpoints_inserted_p
|| !ptid_equal (ecs->ptid, inferior_ptid)
|| !currently_stepping (ecs->event_thread)
|| ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc)
regcache_write_pc (regcache, breakpoint_pc);
Before write_pc, there are a lot of thing to check. Do we need to
check it in record_wait?
If so, it actually useless cause it will be set back in adjust_pc_after_break?
Maybe we can let adjust_pc_after_break disable in replay mode.
How do you think?
