            Bug ID: 16748
           Summary: add command to abandon a hand-called function
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: cli
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dje at google dot com

While it's straightforward enough to back out of a hand-called function, it
does take a bit of manual effort, and is not readily obvious to new users.

A new command, abandon, could do all this, and be mentioned in the message GDB
produces when stopping in a hand-called function.

There are some caveats that one might want to take into account in the
implementation - basically anything that applies to the "return" command
applies here.
