How to Insert breakpoint while gdb is executing

Question

I want to add some breakpoints while gdb is executing . How to suspend running gdb and insert breakpoint and continue from there . I tried ctrl+z , it kills the gdb process.

Do you pass a certain point in the code when you want to insert the breakpoint? It is possible to create a breakpoint that just insert another. — daramarak

Instead of actually stopping the execution of the program it is possible to activate or set breakpoints at certain points in your code. Either via breakpoints or watchpoints. — daramarak

I suggest you read the Stopping and Continuing part of the gdb manual I reference in my answer below. — daramarak

Ctrl-c breaks the execution of your program within gdb, and allows you to insert any breakpoints you like. Stopping is very well explained in the manual. I would suggest you read it, it gives you an huge advantage when debugging.
