Hi, I often perform these steps:
1. bjam
2. gdb ./bin/debug/prog
3. r very long list of parameters that I hate typing
4. [lots of debugger commands like c, n, s, break, etc]
5. up arrow many times to get back to the run command w/parms
6. q
7. vi source.cpp
8. goto 1
Can anyone recommend a way to streamline this process? Particularly Step 3 and Step 5. In MSVC, steps 1-3 is one keystroke (F5) and step 5 is two (SHIFT-F5, F5).

Most IDEs which use gdb provide similar features. Try NetBeans with C/C++ support or Eclipse with CDT (I recommend NetBeans as I'm the gdb module developer:-)

Thanks for your help in switching over to gdb!

Chris
