Will GDB extract the entire Variable history in further releases, based on Reverse Debugging?

[Xing, Charlie]

It comes from a discussion with the CDT team: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg24459.html

I wondered if CDT may provide some features based on the existing Reverse Debugging functionality, they are interested in those features but need GNU GDB to provide more functionality. Therefore I turned to you guys.

I hope the link would make things clearer.

I have to say I didn't really understand what exactly do you mean by those "Variable History" or "Travelling in the Variables History".  Could you elaborate?
