A couple of years ago, you had posted a proposal about a gdb interface
for reverse debugging
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2006-01/msg00013.html
I guess this did not make it to GDB?
Am I correct to understand that the efforts for GDB Reverse debugging
are currently focused on teawater's GDB Record patch, which you guys
are helping with?
To be honnest, I didn't look at the details of that patch (much too low
level for me). However, I was wondering if it considers reverse debugging
with a target (gdbserver or other stub?) From what I understand,
GDB Record, will record register and memory changes as they are made.
For some targets, storing all this may be prohibitive.
I wondered if the recording is done by GDB on the host instead?
Maybe I am going a little fast, already jumping to target reverse debugging?
Thanks for you input
