Re: reverse for GDB/MI

Hi,
It was pointed out to me that people who have been doing reversible
debug for a while seems to
have specific commands for reverse debugging and they do have a command
for "go to time point P".
For example http://www.undo-software.com/undodb_man.html:
bgoton <number>
Move forwards or backwards to the specified time, in simulated
nanoseconds.
bgoton +<number> | -<number>
Step forward/backward the specified number of simulated nanoseconds.
I think that's a great idea, but
a) it seems a bit tangential to this thread, since it would
not simply be an addition to MI, but to the CLI as well, and
b) gdb currently has no concept of a time point or execution
point, so we would have to discuss how to define one.
