No one is currently working on it; the patches I know of are either included in the current CVS HEAD version of GDB (for fork-based checkpoints on GNU/Linux), or posted to the gdb-patches mailing list. Search for "reverse" in the archives during March and April 2006 to find support for reverse execution commands which work with a remote simulator target which supports reverse execution. As you can tell from the patches, Michael Snyder did all of that work. There's also support for reverse simulation of the xstormy16 target using Red Hat's "sid" simulator, posted to the sid and GDB lists in September 2006. That's about where we stand today. Where we go from here is unclear - this message and the news post you followed contain just about everything I know on the subject. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
