US Patent 10452516 Replaying time-travel traces relying on processor undefined behavior

Replaying a trace that relies on processor undefined behavior includes identifying reliance on processor undefined behavior by an instruction executed based on replay of traced program execution from a trace file. Based on the reliance on the processor undefined behavior, the replay includes one or more of: (i) initiating a notification of the reliance on the undefined behavior, (ii) skipping to a key frame in the trace file, and resuming replay at the key frame, (iii) forking replay using two or more potential behaviors, or (iv) continuing replay using a selected behavior that is selected from among the two or more potential behaviors.
