''rr''
rris a time travel debugger that runs native programs with only about a 50% overhead- it uses GDB for its interface
- Mason Jones:
- I use it as I've been weeding out bugs in
jimtcl - I start by setting a breakpoint at the segfault or panic, see what value is messed up, set a watchpoint, and run it backwards until I hit that watchpoint. Then it's a matter of alternating forwards and backwards until I find the exact spot
- For example, it's kinda amazing to do
watch -l someObj->refCount, usercto run backwards, and find exactly where therefCountwas last set
