C++: Looking at source code while debugging in GDB

Sometimes when I am debugging my code for issues/bugs, I want to look at the surrounding piece of code where my debugger is executing, or may be I want to look at the some lines of code in a particular file. Its quite time consuming to toggle windows, switch source code editor/IDE locating code(sometimes switch desktops). Worry no more, use the following commands, to help you navigate through the code, while debugging.

Scenario: after you have set your breakpoint and the GDB debugger hits the section, and you want to look around those line, type list

32     std::cout << "Lines: " << line_count << "\n";

Similarly if you want to look at some specific lines in a source file, type:

(gdb) list MultiUseHeader.hpp:32
27     unsigned line_count = std::count(
28         std::istream_iterator<char>(myfile),
29         std::istream_iterator<char>(), 
30         '\n');
31 
32     std::cout << "Lines: " << line_count << "\n";
33     return 0;
34 }
