1547091 - Instant Warping

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1556813

(Core Graveyard :: Web Replay, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Brian Hackett [Laid off!]]

Similarly to instant stepping, if we know the possible time warp targets then we could eagerly generate the information at time warp targets, so that if a user warps to a console message or error then we could update the UI immediately, before a replaying process has reached that point. Unlike stepping, it might take a little while for a replaying process to reach the warp target and allow deeper queries about the program state there (evaluations and so forth). With many replaying children in a cloud based setup, this will be faster, though it's hard to put a bound on how long it will take to reach an arbitrary execution point in an arbitrary recording.
