Thanks. I have a couple of comments. > +@chapter Recording programs running message and replay it I don't understand this phrase. What did you want to say? what does the word "message" have to do with this feature? > +@kindex target record > +@kindex record > +@kindex rec > +@item target record > +This a standard command to start process record and replay target. > +Process record and replay target can only debug a process that already > +running. Therefore you need to first start the process @code{run}, > +and then start the recording @code{record}. Is the command "target record" or just "record"? or is the latter an alias of the former? We need to explain all this in the manual, because the @item says "target record", while in the last sentence above you say that the command is "record" Other than that, this part of the patch is okay. By the way, I think we need a NEWS entry for this feature.
