This is especially useful when use GDB as a backend of an IDE (Eclipse CDT = 8). Considering the entire history has been recorded by GDB during the executio= n (Step/Resume), it sounds reasonable for GDB to extract the history so tha= t a front-end, like CDT 8, will be able to deliver then end user with many = brilliant features. Travelling in the Variables History? That will be great= to detect the root cause of a program! There won't be any headache in debu= gging a loop! Is there a plan to do such things? Will there be any other advanced features based on the Reverse Debugging? T= hanks! Regards Charlie
