    Record and Replay Framework

  • https://rr-project.org/ had the same problem. They use the retired conditional branch counter instead of instruction counter, and then instruction steeping until at the correct address.

  • hermit

    Hermit launches linux x86_64 programs in a special, hermetically isolated sandbox to control their execution. Hermit translates normal, nondeterministic behavior, into deterministic, repeatable behavior. This can be used for various applications, including replay-debugging, reproducible artifacts, chaos mode concurrency testing and bug analysis. (by facebookexperimental)

  • A Meta developer responded to an issue of mine on Hermit, and said:

    "Just to let you know we're not actively working on Hermit in the team..."
