  • What you're looking for is typically called replay debugging and is supported by GDB 7 and newer and since 2017 by the store version of WinDbg (they call it something else, though). But your question as it stands is eliciting recommendations/opinions, so not a good fit for Q&A. I recommend you ask on softwarerecs.SE and we close this one.

In general, stepping back for a debugger is a hard problem. gdb has a limited step back feature but it comes with a cost, see here.

But, when you think about it, the whole difficulty solved by the programmer when debugging is to step-back until it reach the bug. This is the whole difficulty and we do not have a nice and automated solution for it right now.
