Subject: Re: [reverse RFA] Remove process record warning code
Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2008 01:58:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48F941C2.1010200@vmware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <daef60380810171834l7b856b00u50ecef9689e05aaa@mail.gmail.com>

I'm worried that the naive user might think that he can
extend a recording session across several runs.

Might seem counter-intuitive, but I think the SID reverse
execution implementation will allow you to do that.  If you
run the inferior multiple times, you can actually "back up"
into a previous execution.

I know Process Record won't let you do that, I'm just
saying, a user's intuition is not necessarily the same
as yours or mine...
