Reverse execution is a new feature that was added to gdb 7.0, although you
probably want to use 7.2 for the extra bug fixes. The supported targets
are listed at http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/news/reversible.html (nobody
has added support for Windows yet) and the instructions on how to use it
are on the wiki page linked from that page.
That's not exactly what I meant. I remember back in Delphi 7 (maybe
even as far back as D5), that I changed the execution point, so it can
re-execute a procedure but with different values - no need to
recompile or restart the application.

This was there back in Delphi 5 already. All you needed to do is to switch to
CPU view, and "Set new CS:IP" and you could re-execute that part of the code.
It is one of the things I really really miss (it saved hours of wasted time
when debugging of the handling of different conditions in the code)
Strange. Never even knew it was there, let alone used it, despite working
with Delphi every day since 15 years... Use cases vary indeed !
