Hi, Paul,
I'm sorry if my question was not clear enough.
Let me put some clarification on it.

Consider following code snippet:

class Foo
{
public:
       int inilineGetParam() { return m_member; };
       void Bar( int param );
private:
       int m_member;
}

int main()
{
     Foo f;
     f.Bar( f.inlineGetParam() );
    printf( "Done!");
}

In MSVC debugger and gdb, when I hit F11 standing on the line "f.Bar(....)", I will 
go to the "f.inilineFunc()" line. Now in MSVC hitting F10, brings me back to the line
"f.Bar(...)" so I can decide whether I want to go to the "printf" line or step inside "f.Bar"
In gdb saying "next", which I believe the same as F10 function in MSVC debugger, brings
me to the line with the "printf();"

If you are saying that this what will happen in the next release of gdb I will just wait for it.

Thank you.
