Hello, I want to suggest to Bochs developers community to add the backtrace functionality to bochs debugger like in gdb. If you can make it also for the GUI interface, it would be nice too. I'm debugging a program with bochs debugger and I would very much like navigate through the calls stack (backtrace) such as those functionalities found in gdb (or ddd) which let you see the calls trace, so that you can see the previous functions called before your program hit, for example, a breakpoint. I don't want to use gdb remote stubs. I need it because now, I am experiencing an odd situation in the kernel i am programming. It seems that it is looping endlessly and abnormally; and I can't figure out why it is acting like that. The Log doesn't say anything wrong and my print trace is also quite normal. So I think a backtrace would be very nice to help me see which function is behaving wrongly. But I think this tools would help other developers who may be in the same situation. That is why I decide to write you. Thank you for all your time taken to read my long mail.
