Reversible debugging using program instrumentation.

Reversible debugging using program instrumentation.

Reversible execution has not been fully exploited in symbolic debuggers. Debuggers that can undo instructions usually incur a significant performance penalty during a debugging session. We describe an efficient reversible debugging mechanism based on program instrumentation. The approach enables rep...
