Right, I see the use in this now. How difficult would it be to wrap this up in a reusable script that you could run directly, instead of having to manually work through the debugger prompt?
Hmm, it'd probably be doable. In particular, you can use the "commands" command to script what happens when you hit a breakpoint (a friend talked about this in a Ksplice GDB blog post: https://blogs.oracle.com/ksplice/entry/8_gdb_tricks_you_shou... ) Normally, the "finish" command will interrupt any script you're in the middle of executing, so we have to do a bit of an ugly hack to make sure our script keeps running:…

If you start each line with a few spaces, HN will format it as source code:
