For program tracing, the program is executed in a specialized code simulator that overrides instructions for sending messages (e.g., send, superSend) and for performing side-effects (e.g., popIntoRcvr, primitiveAtPut, push). All message sends are recorded in a tree and all changed object slots are stored in a sparse time-dependent memory structure before they are overwritten. For time-traveling, the tree is traversed using a cursor. For accessing historic objects, a proxy evaluates all messages sent to an object in another specialized simulator (retracing simulator) that emulates historic states for the requested point in time by forwarding read primitives (e.g., pushRcvr, primitiveAt) to the recorded memory. For gathering state changes in the History Explorer efficiently, the query is evaluated in a range retracing simulator with vectorization and fork semantics.

To learn more about the implementation, you can explore the code base by yourself (recommended starting points: `TraceDebugger` and `TDBCursor`) or read our publications about the TraceDebugger (see [citation](#citation)).
There is also a slide deck covering design decisions, usage examples, and evaluation results: **[Zurück in die Zukunft: Back-in-time-Debugging in Squeak](https://linqlover.github.io/LinqLover/slides/SqueakEv22%20TraceDebugger-de.pdf) (Back to the Future: Back-in-Time Debugging in Squeak).
