Very cool. A C/C++ version (also mildly abandoned around the same time) was done by Robert O'Callahan, a very smart guy...

Worth checking out and it would be nice if someone could pick it up and develop it more actively.

For C/C++, the reverse execution support in gdb may be good enough (http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Reverse-Exe...)

"The Chronicle framework provides complete register and memory-level recording of Linux processes and efficient queries over the recorded traces."

Wow, I was looking for something exactly like this a while ago, but was unable to find it. I notice that these days with Google it's really hard to find a tool or project when you're looking for it especially if it's more obscure. Might be a consequence of the ranking rules that crowd lesser known pages out.

BTW I looked around a bit and found another similar system, based on QEMU instead of Valgrind, claiming to be faster, ie less runtime overhead while tracing, and also supporting kernel mode: http://wiki.nss.cs.ubc.ca/Tralfamadore

Edit: never mind, the program does not seem to be publicly available, just papers
