How to execute finish and then another command from inside commands?

Question

This is a reduced example of the structure of my code:

void increment(int j);

int main()
{
  int i = 0;

  while(1) {
    i = increment(i);
  }

  return 0;

Alternatively to @Matt answer, and if you use GDB 7.4, you can use FinishBreakpoints, with something like (untested -- I'm not sure that comments are accepted here):

(gdb) python #first defined the class
class MyFinishBreakpoint (gdb.FinishBreakpoint):
    def stop (self):
        print "%s" % gdb.parse_and_eval("i")
        return False # don't want to stop
end
(gdb) break doSomething
(gdb) commands
# then set the FinishBreakpoint silently
silent
py MyFinishBreakpoint()
continue
