As well as:
...
finish
Continue running until just after function in the selected stack frame
returns. Print the returned value (if any). This command can be
abbreviated as fin.
...
It's only now that you mention the non-line nature of
finish/reverse-finish that I realize that that is the case. So I
suppose the docs could be a bit more explicit about this aspect.
I suppose an intuitive way to make available the two approaches (so
without the user losing options) would be to introduce finishi next to
finish and reverse-finishi next to finish, with the new commands
retaining the current functionality and the old ones being adjusted to
respect line boundaries. But having the commands change behaviour is
likely to cause confusion (well, assuming users notice the difference in
the first place), so I'm not sure if that's a good idea.
Thanks,
- Tom
