Thanks guys!
Here is what I'm planning to do to see if a target supports reverse
execution:
-gdb-set exec-direction reverse
show exec-direction
-gdb-set exec-direction forward
If the 'show' command shows "Reverse", I'll know that the target
supports reverse execution. (I have to do it like this because
I also want it to work for 7.0 and 7.1)
That is the only thing I found that gave me that info without
side-effects. Makes sense?
