10.6.5 Executing the Program

The debugger can execute the target program continuously or one step at a time (single-stepping).
Continuous execution
Continuous execution commands (continue, until commands)
The continuous execution commands execute the loaded program continuously from the current PC address.
continue command: When executing the program continuously, you can disable the current breakpoint a
specified number of times.
Example 1: Executing the program continuously from current PC
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
Example 2: Executing the program continuously from current PC after specifying that current breakpoint be
skipped 4 times
(gdb) continue 5
Will ignore next 4 crossings of breakpoint 1.
until command: You can specify a temporary PC breakpoint that is effective for only one break and cause the
program to stop running at that position.
Example: Executing the program continuously from current PC to 10th line in main.c and causing the
program to break immediately before executing 10th line in main.c
(gdb) until main.c:10
main () at main.c:10
The commands above can also be executed in the [Source] window.
