Re: [PATCH] Infer $pc in a file's trace frame

It is a little obscure to explain, in fact it's a fundamental flaw of the tdump implementation that I didn't fully understand myself until recently.


What I did for now was to whack those last two sentences, and add a couple more paragraphs in the tdump description. After writing them, my main thought is "what a lame design, can't we do tdump better?". :-) So perhaps after gdbserver tracepoints go in and more people get some familiarity, we should revisit both code and documentation.
