As I understand it, wdb is just a front-end to gdb. If so, you can "jump" past any function easily. For example, if you are debugging the following code:

Code:

printf("hello, world\n");
this_is_my_function();
printf("goodbye, world\n");

as you are stepping through the code -- lets say you are at line 1 -- you can enter "jump 3" to jump immediately to line 3 thereby skipping line 2 and the function call entirely. If you want to automatically skip a function as the program runs (with no input needed), you might give the following commands to the debugger:

Code:

break this_is_my_function
commands
return
continue
end

That would tell gdb to stop at the specified function, and automatically execute the commands "return" and "continue" which would have the same effect as skipping the function entirely.

SYNOPSIS

       rhino-debugger [options] script_filename_or_url [script_arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the rhino-debugger command.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the origi-
       nal program does not have a manual page. It is written according to the html documentation.

       rhino-debugger is a start script for the rhino JavaScript debugger. The Rhino JavaScript debugger is a GUI that allows debugging of  inter-
       preted  JavaScript  scripts  run  in  Rhino. Note that this debugger will not work with JavaScript scripts run in the mozilla browser since
       Rhino is not the engine used in such environments.

OPTIONS

       -e script_source
	      Executes script_source as a JavaScript script.

       -f script_filename_or_url
	      Reads script_filename_or_url content and execute it as a JavaScript script.

       -opt, -O optLevel
	      Optimizes at level optLevel, which must be an integer between 0 and 9.

       -version versionNumber
	      Specifies the language version to compile with. The string versionNumber must be one of 100, 110, 120, 130, or 140.  See	JavaScript
	      Language Versions for more information on language versions.

       -strict
