I wonder if record/replay and reverse debugging are one and the same feature from the perspective of inclusion in gdb 7.0? It seems so from the above? Logically, they can be separated into at least five parts: * revexec support in gdb-serial * reveexec support in MI * revexec support in the gdb kernel * record/replay as one way to effect revexec for the case of x86-linux-user-process * revexec from external sources, such as VMWare, Simics, and other simulato= rs Which parts of these are currently under consideration for inclusion in the first 7.0 release?
