But I am more than happy to spend some time on it. I am also new to BLCR. My previous short description of BLCR is incorrect. For example BLCR does support x86, x86-64, ppc, ppc64 and ARM and Xen dom0/domU. This recent presentation may give a more complete picture about BLCR : https://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/Pubs/WTTC2008-BKK.pdf. I see there are other approach/solutions out there to achieve similar goals in terms of debugging: like using visualization VM or effort on reversible debugging. In my working area, I have to deal with programs with huge memory footprint ( > 16G ), long runtime like in days and multi-threaded. I feel BLCR approach fits the requirement nicely. Actually I can use BLCR as standalone for my debugging purpose. I just wish I could easily do the checkpoint/restart inside gdb. I probably will also contact BLCR folks to see if they already have something done for gdb or not.
