CodeGuide 7.0 - featuring unique back-in-time debugger

No, CodeGuide's debugger records the state of your program after each
instruction, and lets you view the value that any field or variable
has ever had, at any point during the program's execution.

The first back in time debugger I'd heard of was RootCause
(www.ocsystems.com).

This functionality sounds like the "Pop Frame" feature that was added
into IDEA recently.

Let's say you were on line 50(breakpoint) and you say the problem on
line 45, int x = 5 should be int x = 10, VC++ would let you make the
change, put the debug pointer on line 45, and move back to that point
without hitting line 51.

Isn't that back in time?

This functionality sounds like the "Pop Frame"
feature that was added
into IDEA recently.

Except that "Pop Frame" does not undo all the
actions (assignments, method calls, ...) taken
between stepping into a method and popping;
BiTD does that.
