Question

I have a gdb user defined command that does some setup, then might do a simple job, or a complex job. The command follows this basic structure:

define mycmd
  # Common setup

  if ($argc == 0)
    # Some simple thing a few lines long
    ## What goes here so I exit mycmd?
  end

  # A lot of lines doing a complex thing
end

Is there a C-like return I can put in place of the ## line to terminate mycmd immediately? The return, exit, quit, stop, loop_break commands don’t do what I hoped for.

Answer 1

Is there a C-like return

There doesn’t appear to be. A possible solution is to

define mycmd
   ... common setup
   if (condition)
     ... do simple thing
   else
     mycmd_helper
   end
end

define mycmd_helper
   ... do complex thing
end
