Making gdb do more (debugging) for less (re-typing)

• gdb, out of the box, allows us to debug our code primitively.
• Yet, gdb supports a large number of knobs and levers, all of which are quite documented.
• But we, users, are too lazy to read documentation...
• ...and even more so, for software we've been using for years.
• But gdb has acquired new features recently, and i decided to start exploring them when i said "SABENA!" (Such A Bloody Experience - Never Again!)
• Note: even if you use front-end GUIs for gdb - this lecture will cover some features they do not provide.
