Stepping

Overview of the stepping commands.

Step commands​

Here is a list of available commands for stepping through a stopped program:

  • stepi - step a single instruction
  • step (alias: stepinto) - step a program until it reaches a different source line
  • next (alias: stepover) - step a program, stepping over subroutine (function) calls
  • finish (alias: stepout) - execute a program until the selected stack frame returns

Usage example​

Consider this Rust code:

fn print_hello(print_num: u32) {
    for _ in 0..print_num {
        println!("Hello, world!");
    }
}

fn main() {
    let print_num = 3;
    print_hello(print_num);
}

And try to do some steps after breaking at the main function:
