Subject: help me reduce typing when running gdb
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 19:43:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <474DC4C9.7000806@toyon.com> (raw)

Hi, I often perform these steps:

1. bjam
2. gdb ./bin/debug/prog
3. r very long list of parameters that I hate typing
4. [lots of debugger commands like c, n, s, break, etc]
5. up arrow many times to get back to the run command w/parms
6. q
7. vi source.cpp
8. goto 1

Can anyone recommend a way to streamline this process?  Particularly 
Step 3 and Step 5.  In MSVC, steps 1-3 is one keystroke (F5) and step 5 
is two (SHIFT-F5, F5).

Thanks for your help in switching over to gdb!

Chris
