  2. …the test in a much smaller scope with something heavy like Valgrind or a Record-Replay debugger ( https://github.com/mozilla/rr ). If you write tests regularly during development then you can also isolate and test parts fast when something…

  3. It's a bummer that perf counters are not accurate on TR/ryzen, blocking rr from working on it. https://github.com/mozilla/rr/issues/2034#issuecomment-30444... Edit: typo

  9. Unfortunately for me, the fact that rr can't run on Ryzen CPUs is a dealbreaker. :( https://github.com/mozilla/rr/issues/2034

  10. https://github.com/mozilla/rr/issues/1373 This disappoints me, as I'd love to see rr ported to PowerPC, which is another LL/SC architecture that I suspect might run into this issue.

  11. rr := https://github.com/mozilla/rr rr is a lightweight tool for recording and replaying execution of applications (trees of processes and threads).

  13. I would strongly suggest you check out rr - Mozilla's Record and Replay framework https://github.com/mozilla/rr . Don't let the name confuse you - it's not specific at all to Firefox. It can record a process's execution and replay it in…

  16. rr can compress traces, so while it's big, it's not as big as you think. https://github.com/mozilla/rr/issues/700

  18. Link to the project: http://rr-project.org/ And the github: https://github.com/mozilla/rr (On a side note, I think the gradient background is worse than a plain white background, when removing it, it become a lot more readable)
