It's no longer likely at all, but some years ago my workplace nearly open sourced a serious tool. That would have been big news, with the sudden availability of source for a tool that does rr-like stuff.
Some other company could do it. Remember that we've gotten Navigator (now Firefox), Blender, OpenSolaris, OpenOffice, and the .net stuff. Governments can surprise us as well; the USA did that with Ghidra.
I'm not expecting it anytime soon, but surprises happen.
- roca 7y agoThat's a possibility, but I don't know of any closed-source tool that does what Pernosco does. Tetrane is the closest I know of, but they aren't as scalable as Pernosco (they don't need to be). Certainly possible that someone has a secret tool that's as good or better. However, I expect the secret tools in this space are all focused on so-called 'security research', i.e. more like Tetrane and targeted at adversaries of the software under test, rather than its developers, which leads to a somewhat different feature set.
