I found a similar question with answer from a couple of months ago:

Subject: Step outer function call
Hello,
I often find that when stepping through code, I would like to step into
the outer most function call on a line of code, but the only way I see
to do this is to step into each inner call and finish them until
reaching the outer call. For example:
foo(bar(), baz());
If on the above line and I step, I first enter bar(), then baz(), and
finally foo().
The vast majority of the time, I want to enter foo().
Is there a command or script to accomplish this?
If not, is this a reasonable feature request for gdb?
Thanks.
