The -exec-step-instruction command

Synopsis

-exec-step-instruction

Asynchronous command. Resumes the inferior which executes one machine instruction. The output, once GDB has stopped, will vary depending on whether we have stopped in the middle of a source line or not. In the former case, the address at which the program stopped will be printed as well.

GDB command

The corresponding GDB command is 'stepi'.
