down-silently (gdb mode only)

Syntax

down-silently [ num ]

Parameters

Description

This command moves to the stack frame num levels below the current frame. The default value for num is 1. This command is the same as down, except that it does not display the new frame.

If the specified number of levels exceeds the number of active calls on the stack in the specified direction, the debugger issues a warning message and the call frame does not change.

Example

The following example shows the difference between down and down-silently:

Breakpoint 1, readGlob (x=1111) at /site/c_code/hello_simple.c:10
10          foo = x;
(idb)  up
#1  0x08048402 in main () at /site/c_code/hello_simple.c:23
23          readGlob(glob);
(idb)  down
#0  0x0804839d in readGlob (x=1111) at /site/c_code/hello_simple.c:10
10          foo = x;
(idb)  up
#1  0x08048402 in main () at /site/c_code/hello_simple.c:23
23          readGlob(glob);
(idb)  down-silently
(idb)  where 1
#0  0x0804839d in readGlob (x=1111) at /site/c_code/hello_simple.c:10
