It turns out there are several projects completed over the last two years that have done a reversible GDB. I asked two of them if they could make their code available for review, and another two if they'd mind publishing their reversible targets. So I hope that this group will soon have available much better resources for testing reversibility approaches: * a total of four different sets of reversible GDB patches known to work when pointed at exactly the right kind of target (I'm including Soam Vasani's Lizard link here, nice research project) * a total of at least 4 reversible targets publicly available to help in development and testing of a reversible GDB (I'm including Michael's toy tracepoint target here, hopefully it can evolve into a standard testbed catering for other technologies too. But it demonstrates a point already.) Some people will have access to closed-source Simics too. -- Dan Shearer dan@shearer.org
