Step outer function call

This is what I use running gdb in Emacs


In .gdbinit:

define function_step
  tbreak $arg0
  cont
end

------------

In .emacs

(add-hook 'gdb-mode-hook
'(lambda ()
   (gud-def gud-function-step
	    "function_step %e" nil "Step to this function.")
   (define-key-after gud-tool-bar-map [step-outer]
     '(menu-item "Step outer" gud-function-step
       :image (image :type xpm
		     :file "/home/nickrob/emacs/etc/images/jump-to.xpm")))))

------------

You would have to specify your own icon, of course.

Then all you need to do is place the cursor on the function that you want to
stop in and click on the relevant toolbar icon.
