Display Date and Time in GDB
In gdb is there any way we can display date/time in first column while debugging or is there any command which will print date/time?
I am asking this just to know when exactly a breakpoint got hit.

printing the time from gdb
I don't know of a way to do it directly, but you can issue shell commands using the 'shell' command. e.g.

Code:
(undodb-gdb) shell date
Fri May 10 18:03:47 BST 2013
(undodb-gdb)

will tell you the time from the gdb prompt. To have this happen automagically each time a breakpoint is hit or whatever, you can use a stop hook:

Code:
(undodb-gdb) define hook-stop
Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
End with a line saying just "end".
>shell date
>end
(undodb-gdb) next
Fri May 10 18:03:54 BST 2013
25          c++;
(undodb-gdb) next
Fri May 10 18:03:55 BST 2013
26          x = add (2);
(undodb-gdb) next
After +2 a=3, b=4, c=5
Fri May 10 18:03:56 BST 2013
27          a++;
(undodb-gdb)

Note that I'm using UndoDB above, but it's the same interface as gdb (actually, it uses gdb as a frontend). You can see more about UndoDB here at undo-software.com

Thanks gregthelaw for the solution.
This is what I was looking for and it works wonders on gdb.
