Multiple commands in gdb separated by some sort of delimiter ';'?

Question

I am trying to execute two commands at once in gdb:

finish; next

I tried using the \';\' to separate the commands but gdb did not let me do

I don't believe so (but I may be wrong). You can do something like this:

(gdb) define fn
> finish
> next
> end

And then just type:

(gdb) fn

You can put this in your ~/.gdbinit file as well so it is always available.
