Re:GNU GDB 7.5 brings Go support, reverse debugging on ARM by Ogre on Saturday August 18, 2012 @02:42PM (#4401887)
I ran into it accidentally just the other day, but all it told me was that I couldn't use it while debugging a multi-threaded program. I was immediately both elated and disappointed in the feature, since nearly all the C++ programs I work are multi-threaded.

I don't know if that's true in the latest versions, but it certainly seems like solving that problem in a multi-threaded environment would be difficult.

Edit: this seems to indicate it can be enabled in a threaded program: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7517236/how-do-i-enable-r... I will have to try it. I guess it's just another case of a badly worded error message "Target multi-thread does not support this command." sure makes it sound like you can't reverse in a multi-threaded program, doesn't it?
