kill

Syntax

kill

Parameters

None.

Description

This command kills the current process, leaving the debugger running. Any breakpoints previously set are retained. Later, you can execute the program again, by using the run command in GDB mode or the rerun command in IDB mode, without loading the debuggee again.

Example

It stopped at breakpoint 1.
(idb) kill
Program exited normally.
(idb) run
Starting program: /home/user/examples/x_list
Breakpoint 1, main () at src/x_list.cxx:182
182 List<Node> nodeList;

IDB Mode:

(idb) rerun
