How to stop a program in GDB?

Question

gdb

There is a program, and I need to pause it in an arbitrary place (not with a breakpoint, but manually by pressing a combination from the keyboard) and find out where the program has become. Can this be done or not?

Answer 1

manually by pressing a combination from the keyboard) you need to pause and find out where the program has become.

^C, or by sending a signal ( kill <signal> <pid>) to stop.
bt- See where you're staying.
