I am trying to use GDB’s reverse debugging with a Django application. I get it running in GDB, but I can’t make it run backwards.

I stopped my Django app with Ctrl-Z and then entered reverse-next at the gdb prompt, getting the error message “Target multi-thread does not support this command.”

Am I doing it wrong? Isn’t this possible? Both?

    Before you can use GDB for reverse debugging, you must tell it to record your program execution (so it can play it back) via target record command, as documented here.

    I am not sure this will help you debug your Django application though — GDB is well suited for debugging “native” code (compiled C/C++), and is not well suited for debugging “interpreted” code (in either forward or reverse direction).
