How can I make gdb stop at the breakpoint after loop has been executed n number of times

Question

I want to stop the execution, when the loop has been executed n number of times. I don't want to use the conditional breakpoint using value of loop-counter because initial value of loop-counter is different at different time of run.

You need to use the ignore command. Set a breakpoint at the relevant place in your loop and then use ignore to indicate how many times that the breakpoint is to be ignored.

Syntax, as per help ignore is:

Set ignore-count of breakpoint number N to COUNT. Usage is `ignore N COUNT'.
