What I would suggest is a command say 'skip arg' or 'trust arg', where
arg is either a
      * file name (e.g. nobug.h)
      * a prefix (e.g. /usr/include or /usr/include/*)
Or even more:
      * a function
      * a class
      * a range of lines

Then, my next idea is to use the gdb interface of emacs. It should be
trivial to do a lisp function doing this, but I couldn't figure out how
to do that. For example how to obtain the file name of the currently
debugged line in emacs/gud/gdb?
