How do I skip over a portion on code while debugging with GDB

Next is good but setting a breakpoint at the line after the task create
loop
is probably the solution here. Or "next NUMBER" to next a number of times.
Many gdb commands take a number.

Another interesting option is using continue and break conditions. You
could
then continue until the loop counter is 99 or something.
