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

[Richi Dubey]

Hi,

Thank you for your replies Dr. Bloom and Dr. Sherrill.

I completely forgot that I could do a break with the line number. I have
been manually working with the next instruction for the past few weeks when
I could easily have done break :p.

Thanks.
