gdb: Altering

 
 17 Altering Execution
 *********************
 
 Once you think you have found an error in your program, you might want
 to find out for certain whether correcting the apparent error would lead
 to correct results in the rest of the run.  You can find the answer by
 experiment, using the GDB features for altering execution of the
 program.
 
    For example, you can store new values into variables or memory
 locations, give your program a signal, restart it at a different
 address, or even return prematurely from a function.
