GDB infinite loop when stepping on "while (1) i++;"

I think there is nothing wrong. You let GDB next, it next. And your line is a infinite loop, so it never stops.

If "while (1) i++;" in you source code is put in a line. I think the debugging information should be a line. If not, maybe you compiler has problems. It is different with a single line function, i.e. "int a() {}".

If you want to  step into, why not use "step"?
