I've set a breakpoint in gdb, and I'd like to see the exact line of source the breakpoint is on, just to confirm it's correct -- is there a quick way to do this?
The "info b" command gives me information about the breakpoints, but it doesn't display source:
(gdb) info b
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y 0x00000000006c3ba4 in MyClass::foo(bar*)
at /home/user1/src/MyClass.cpp:1021
I can type "list MyClass.cpp:1021" to see the lines around this breakpoint, but I'm wondering if there's a shorter way. Googling and reading the gdb manual didn't turn up anything.
I know that if I'm executing the program and have hit the breakpoint, I can just type "list", but I'm asking specifically about the case where I am not at the breakpoint (the program may not even be running).
You can use the list command to show sources. list takes a "linespec", which is gdb terminology for the kinds of arguments accepted by break. So, you can either pass it whatever argument you used to make the breakpoint in the first place (e.g., list function) or you can pass it the file and line shown by info b (e.g., list mysource.c:75).
