Question

I have a class with a regrettable number of methods. I would like gdb to break whenever I enter the class, so through any of the methods. Is there a way to do this without setting break points individually for each method?

Answer 1

I never tried it myself, but it seems you can try the rbreak command :

rbreak regex

Set breakpoints on all functions matching the regular expression regex. This command sets an unconditional breakpoint on all matches, printing a list of all breakpoints it set. Once these breakpoints are set, they are treated just like the breakpoints set with the break command.
