Re: [FYI] tutorial for process record and reverse debugging

Ultimately, I'm hoping that with such a command, we can then see
if we can have PRecord directly jump from recorded execution
to live execution without stopping.

Note that we had a discussion a while ago about adding a general "go to point in time in recording/reverse execution history" command, which would kind of solve this as a special case (provided you can find the "last" time). We can already do this in Simics, but there is no support in the gdb-serial protocol or the gdb CLI or MI to access the function. The undodb people had the same issue.

What would you think of "qBookmark" to request a bookmark id, and "QBookmark:id" to "set" the bookmark (that is, to go back to that machine state)?
