I watched the following Google tech talk with much interest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvMlihjqlhY It describes a very generic, scalable, environment-agnostic way of recording programs' execution via vmware's virtualization, and doing reverse tracing (which is one of the reasons I'd like to record programs in the first place). I heard gdb mentioned in the video in passing, so I'm assuming someone in the list is familiar with vmware's effort, but how far along is gdb in supporting this framework? Thanks much, Ed
