Re: GDB record patch 0.1.3.1 for GDB-6.8 release

Hi Michael,

I am reading "msnyder-reverse-20080609-branch".
I want to say that it's so great. It make all the reverse function
very clear. I like it. :)

And I want say thanks to Pedro. Your idea that make recrd to be a
target is very fit "msnyder-reverse-20080609-branch".
To make record work with "msnyder-reverse-20080609-branch" without
your idea is so hard. :)

I want to make record to be a target how do you think about it?

Thanks,
teawater
