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;

Have you actually tried to compile this? Your increment() function is declared void, but needs to be int. After changing that, it worked fine for me:

% gdb test
GNU gdb (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.3-0ubuntu2) 7.3-2011.08
[...]
Reading symbols from test...done.
(gdb) b increment 
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004bb: file test.c, line 5.
(gdb) r
Starting program: test 

Breakpoint 1, increment (j=0) at test.c:5
5               return j+1;
(gdb) fin
Run till exit from #0  increment (j=0) at test.c:5
0x00000000004004dc in main () at test.c:11
11                      i = increment(i);
Value returned is $1 = 1
(gdb) n
12              }
(gdb) p i
$2 = 1
(gdb)
