They certainly aren't. When replaying, I believe it's just best to
behave as close as possible to when it the inferior is really running.
From the inferior control side, GDB be mostly as agnostic about
"replay" vs normal run as possibly.
IIUC from reading the code, I see two issues.
1) When going forward and in reply mode, breakpoint hits are being checked
*after* a record item is replays. IIUC, we should check *before*,
and report an adjusted PC.
2) Un-inserted breakpoints weren't accounted for AFAICT (GDB will
un-inserted breakpoints temporarily when stepping over them).
Maybe they are, I got lost. :-) There's a loop going through the
bp_location_chain. Can you get rid of that and use
regular_breakpoint_inserted_here_p or similars?
Below is a 10 minutes hack at it, as a starting point. Replay stil
isn't perfect, mainly because I got lost in the record_wait maze --- that,
needs a bit of clean up. :-)
