We demonstrate a model, including operational semantics, for the reverse execution of stack-based code. We discuss our modification of the Kaffe implementation of the Java Virtual Machine, supporting a debugger capable of running Java bytecode backwards. We achieve reverse execution by logging the state lost during each operation or by directly reversing instructions. Our debugger has facilities f...
