GDB: Break after function has returned

Question

Is there a way to tell GDB to break right after a given function has returned?

You should not create a second question for an issue you're already covering, especially just 5 minutes after the first one. It's preferrable that you edit your previous question to include additional details about your situation. — zneak, May 08 '12 at 15:21

If you're about to execute the function, n[ext]. If you're inside, fin[ish] will stop when it returns and show the return value.

Thanks. But this [does not work for my use case](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10501121/gdb-script-not-working-as-expected). – Randomblue May 08 '12 at 15:12
If it does not work for your use case, then the problem here is that you asked a new question with no information about your use case instead of following up on your existing question. – R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE May 08 '12 at 16:24

You can add a breakpoint to the function then finish to step out.
