gdb: add 'maintenance print record-instruction' command
While chasing some reverse debugging bugs, I found myself wondering what was recorded by GDB to undo and redo a certain instruction. This commit implements a simple way of printing that information. If there isn't enough history to print the desired instruction (such as when the user hasn't started recording yet or when they request 2 instructions back but only 1 was recorded), GDB warns the user like so: (gdb) maint print record-instruction Not enough recorded history If there is enough, GDB prints the instruction like so: (gdb) maint print record-instruction 4 bytes of memory at address 0x00007fffffffd5dc changed from: 01 00 00 00 Register eflags changed: [ IF ] Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401115 <main+15> Approved-by: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> Reviewed-by: Alexandra Hajkova <ahajkova@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Lancelot Six <lsix@lancelotsix.com> Approved-by: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
