This is 'reverse execution', i.e. running execution forward until a problem is hit, then backward to see its cause. It uses lots of memory and requires per-arch support, so only a few arches (the popular ones) support it to date. ARM is now one such.

PL/I Flashback Posted Aug 20, 2012 22:45 UTC (Mon) by cry_regarder (subscriber, #50545) [Link]
We had reverse debugging on IBM ES/9000 back in the early 90s for PL/I. IIRC it did cost us over $100K for the debugger.
It was extremely handy a couple of times a year.
