FWIW, I've got no opinions on this patch. The content looks fine. My only concern is that I don't much like "set" variables which succeed or fail depending on the target - we can switch targets unexpectedly.

Can we just give the error in proceed if the target can't run in
reverse?

You mean, "and not give an error when you say "set exec-dir"?


Well here's the thing: I've had experience with something
very similar*, and the users complained.  They wanted to
know sooner if there was a problem.

* Tracepoints.  You don't find out that the remote target can't
support them until you say continue.
