Set a file wide breakpoint in gdb

Question

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to understand how a piece of code is working. I've enabled a breakpoint for a function, but it looks like it never gets hit. So, I'd like to break whenever ANY function within this class is invoked. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Try rbreak regex - for example:
rbreak ^MyClass::

Noteworthy fact:

There is an implicit .* leading and trailing the regular expression you supply, so to match only functions that begin with foo, use ^foo.
