Can one configure gdb/ddd to never step into certain functions?

Question

I have some infrastructure C++ code (containers, memory managers etc.) and I want the debugger to never step into those methods while debugging an application issue.

I know this can be done with Visual Studio and I have used that before on other projects:

Is this at all possible with gdb or ddd?
