Iet me clarify it a little:

In my original post I had two ideas. One is a code library that
provides its own memory functions which keep log of their changes to
the memory (logged_malloc, logged_free, logged_memset, etc.) and
another function that allows rolling back to a previously marked point
(e.g. the initial point of a thread which allocates some memory but
later raises an error and returns).

The second idea is about adding a new debug command "Step Back" to IDEs
that tries to rollback to the previous step's memory state.
