0020 /// other kinds of information.
0021 ///
0022 /// This class attempts to be a generic interface for accessing the instructions
0023 /// of the trace so that each Trace plug-in can reconstruct, represent and store
0024 /// the instruction data in an flexible way that is efficient for the given
0025 /// technology.
0026 ///
0027 /// Live processes:
0028 ///   In the case of a live process trace, an instance of a \a TraceCursor
0029 ///   should point to the trace at the moment it was collected. If the process
0030 ///   is later resumed and new trace data is collected, then it's up to each
0031 ///   trace plug-in to decide whether to leave the old cursor unaffected or not.
0032 ///
0033 /// Cursor items:
0034 ///   A \a TraceCursor can point at one of the following items:
0035 ///
0036 ///   Errors:
0037 ///     As there could be errors when reconstructing the instructions of a
0038 ///     trace, these errors are represented as failed instructions, and the
0039 ///     cursor can point at them.
0040 ///
0041 ///   Events:
0042 ///     The cursor can also point at events in the trace, which aren't errors
0043 ///     nor instructions. An example of an event could be a context switch in
0044 ///     between two instructions.
0045 ///
0046 ///   Instruction:
0047 ///     An actual instruction with a memory address.
0048 ///
0049 /// Defaults:
0050 ///   By default, the cursor points at the most recent item in the trace and is
0051 ///   set up to iterate backwards. See the \a TraceCursor::Next() method for
0052 ///   more documentation.
0053 ///
0054 /// Sample usage:
0055 ///
0056 ///  TraceCursorSP cursor = trace.GetTrace(thread);
0057 ///
0058 ///  for (; cursor->HasValue(); cursor->Next()) {
0059 ///     TraceItemKind kind = cursor->GetItemKind();
0060 ///     switch (cursor->GetItemKind()):
0061 ///       case eTraceItemKindError:
0062 ///         cout << "error found: " << cursor->GetError() << endl;
0063 ///         break;
0064 ///       case eTraceItemKindEvent:
0065 ///         cout << "event found: " << cursor->GetEventTypeAsString() << endl;
0066 ///         break;
0067 ///       case eTraceItemKindInstruction:
0068 ///         std::cout << "instructions found at " << cursor->GetLoadAddress() <<
0069 ///         std::endl; break;
0070 ///     }
0071 ///  }
0072 ///
0073 ///  As the trace might be empty or the cursor might have reached the end of the
0074 ///  trace, you should always invoke \a HasValue() to make sure you don't access
0075 ///  invalid memory.
0076 ///
0077 /// Random accesses:
0078 ///
0079 ///   The Trace Cursor offer random acesses in the trace via two APIs:
0080 ///
0081 ///     TraceCursor::Seek():
0082 ///       Unlike the \a TraceCursor::Next() API, which moves instruction by
0083 ///       instruction, the \a TraceCursor::Seek() method can be used to
0084 ///       reposition the cursor to an offset of the end, beginning, or current
0085 ///       position of the trace.
0086 ///
0087 ///     TraceCursor::GetId() / TraceCursor::SetId(id):
0088 ///       Each item (error or instruction) in the trace has a numeric identifier
0089 ///       which is defined by the trace plug-in. It's possible to access the id
0090 ///       of the current item using GetId(), and to reposition the cursor to a
