  20
  21    <p>It is often necessary to eliminate a breakpoint, watchpoint, or
  22 catchpoint once it has done its job and you no longer want your program
  23 to stop there.  This is called <dfn>deleting</dfn> the breakpoint.  A
  24 breakpoint that has been deleted no longer exists; it is forgotten.
  25
  26    <p>With the <code>clear</code> command you can delete breakpoints according to
  27 where they are in your program.  With the <code>delete</code> command you can
  28 delete individual breakpoints, watchpoints, or catchpoints by specifying
  29 their breakpoint numbers.
  30
  31    <p>It is not necessary to delete a breakpoint to proceed past it.  GDB
  32 automatically ignores breakpoints on the first instruction to be executed
  33 when you continue execution without changing the execution address.
  34
  35      <dl>
  36 <dt><code>clear</code>
  37      <dd>Delete any breakpoints at the next instruction to be executed in the
  38 selected stack frame (see <a href="Selection.html#Selection">Selecting a frame</a>).  When
  39 the innermost frame is selected, this is a good way to delete a
  40 breakpoint where your program just stopped.

  43      <dd><dt><code>clear </code><var>filename</var><code>:</code><var>function</var><code></code>
  44      <dd>Delete any breakpoints set at entry to the function <var>function</var>.

  47      <dd><dt><code>clear </code><var>filename</var><code>:</code><var>linenum</var><code></code>
  48      <dd>Delete any breakpoints set at or within the code of the specified line.
  49
  50      <br><dt><code>delete </code>[<code>breakpoints</code>]<code> </code>[<code></code><var>range</var><code>...</code>]<code></code>
  51      <dd>Delete the breakpoints, watchpoints, or catchpoints of the breakpoint
  52 ranges specified as arguments.  If no argument is specified, delete all
  53 breakpoints (GDB asks confirmation, unless you have <code>set
  54 confirm off</code>).  You can abbreviate this command as <code>d</code>.
