GDB conditional breakpoints slow down program speed as fuck, we need to make conditional compilation help that

[cirosantilli]

The compile code command described at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5480868/how-to-call-assembly-in-gdb/31709579#31709579 + a signal or brk instruction would solve that beautifully, if only we could with compile code:

• break anywhere, not just current point: https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/18428/how-to-assemble-and-inject-an-instruction-with-gdb/22136#22136
• remove the injected code at will later on

it would be beautiful.

Maybe if Google paid me to do it I would.
