I could not find anything here http://lldb.llvm.org/lldb-gdb.html <http://lldb.llvm.org/lldb-gdb.html>. Is there a way to mimic that feature somehow on macOS (or do reverse debugging) ?

At least for macOS, the checkpoint/restart scheme using forks to save previous state won’t work in general. Many system frameworks as well as the pthread stack will start misbehaving if a fork is not followed immediately by an exec.
