Description
Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I was hoping to be able to set a conditional breakpoint during reverse-continue. Unfortunately gdb complains that it "Cannot call functions in reverse mode.". I don't particularly care that it be fast, but it would be nice if there was some way that this could be made work.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the conditional-breakpoint failure during reverse-continue in gdb. Done would mean conditional breakpoints can be used during reverse-continue without the “Cannot call functions in reverse mode” error; the issue does not name files or tests to inspect.
