Exit current function with GDB

Question

Those who use Visual Studio will be familiar with the Shift + F11 hotkey , which exits the function, that is, it continues to execute the current function until it returns to its subscriber at what point it stops.

Is there an equivalent in gdb?

Answer 1

You can use the finish command.

finish : continue to work until the function returns after the selected stack frame. Print the return value (if any). This command can be abbreviated as fin .
