Continue running your program until either the specified location is
reached, or the current stack frame returns. @var{location} is any of
the forms of argument acceptable to @code{break} (@pxref{Set Breaks,
,Setting breakpoints}). This form of the command uses breakpoints,
and hence is quicker than @code{until} without an argument.
,Setting breakpoints}). This form of the command uses breakpoints, and
hence is quicker than @code{until} without an argument. The specified
location is actually reached only if it is in the current frame. This
implies that @code{until} can be used to skip over recursive function
invocations. For instance in the code below, if the current location is
line @code{96}, issuing @code{until 99} will execute the program up to
line @code{99} in the same invocation of factorial, i.e. after the inner
invocations have returned.
@smallexample
94 int factorial (int value)
95 @{
96 if (value > 1) @{
97 value *= factorial (value - 1);
98 @}
99 return (value);
100 @}
@end smallexample
@kindex advance @var{location}
@itemx advance @var{location}
Continue running the program up to the given location. An argument is
required, anything of the same form as arguments for the @code{break}
command. Execution will also stop upon exit from the current stack
frame. This command is similar to @code{until}, but @code{advance} will
not skip over recursive function calls, and the target location doesn't
have to be in the same frame as the current one.
