In GDB, how can I jump directly up to the topmost call stack frame?
Solution 1:
In my tests, using 'up' with a very large number resulted in the topmost frame being displayed, e.g.
(gdb) up 99999
#58 0x0000000000442fb4 in main ()
Solution 2:
You can specify 'bt' with a negative number to start from topmost frame:
bt -20
You can then use 'frame' (or 'f') to directly go to the frame you wish.
Solution 3:
fr 0
will take you to the top-most stack frame. fr
stands for frame.
