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.
