This part is okay, but please fix the punctuation as shown below:
There are multiple classes of targets such, as: processes, executable files or
recording sessions. Core files belong to the process class, making core file
and process mutually exclusive. Otherwise, @value{GDBN} can work concurrently
on multiple active targets, one in each class. This allows you to (for
example) start a process and inspect its activity, while still having access to
the executable file after the process finishes. Or if you start process
recording (@pxref{Reverse Execution}) and @code{reverse-step} there, you are
presented a virtual layer of the recording target, while the process target
remains stopped at the chronologically last point of the process execution.
Thanks.
