I made this change, but I think that the new page is missing some
of the information that was provided by the first page. Can you please
take care of that, and then delete the old one so that no one gets
misled by it?

Teawater,

There is another link to the old wiki page. Does this change look
good to you? In particular, is the wiki page in accordance with the
context where the link is placed?

Thanks,

Thanks Joel,

I checked this diff and the web, it's OK with me.

And I checked the http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ReversibleDebugging,
all the information in it is include in
http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ProcessRecord
So I think maybe we can delete
http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ReversibleDebugging

Best regards,
Hui

I would rather suggest to do the opposite, after making sure
everything we say in http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ProcessRecord is
in the ReversibleDebugging page.  That is because the topic of
"Reversible Debugging" is broader than just "process record and
replay".  The latter is just one way of implementing reversible
debugging.  It's not the only way, however.

Please do not worry about it.  Link is changed to
http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ReverseDebug  :)

Thanks,
Hui

We certainly made it more effort for us by writing a new page instead of
updating the one we had. Let's update rather than re-recreate, next time.

In the meantime, I checked in the WWW change, and also updated the old
wiki page to say:

    This page is now obsolete and has been replaced by ReverseDebug.
    Please help us fix all links to this page by sending an email to gdb
    [AT] sourceware DOT org (thank you).
