Re: execution of inactive statement in gdb run

[jhh]

 You have to decide on some circumstance that will make you stop at a 
particular line.  For example, instead of "if(0)" something like "if (i 
== 50) ".  gdb also lets you put a condition on a break.   For example, 
break main.c:35 gives you a breakpoint number one at that line.  Now 
give the command "condition 1 i == 50" and it will only stop there when 
the condition is satisfied.
 I usually find putting the condition directly in the code,  as in 
"if(i == 50 && j < 5 && b < 0) {  \  printf("I am here\n"); }" to be 
easier if the condition has to be very complicated, as looking for one 
wrong number somewhere in a loop with a million passes.
