That might be a viable solution in the future, perhaps as we explore other avenues for this project (like fast breakpoints). There are such plans intended as fast breakpoint conditions evaluation similar to current agent expressions but more general. What Daniel Gutson mentions is IMO "fix-and-continue", this was implemented by Apple in GDB-6.3 - Googled now its announcement: https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2003-06/msg00500.html It is one of the possible future goals of the "compile" project above although currently it is considered as pretty far goal.
