How to re-run program in GDB several times

debugginggdb

I have a program which fails sporadically, but with the same error. To debug it I'd like to run it under GDB until it fails, set breakpoints and re-run it.
what do I do:

gdb --args /path/to/program <program args>

But I can't find anywhere how do I tell GDB "run this program 100 times" for example.

The simplest solution I can think of is to run program in infinite while loop until it fails or you press Ctrl+C to break the loop.

(gdb) while 1
 >run
 >end

Start debugging, as soon as you've arrived at a breakpoint or used Debug > Break All, use Debug > Windows > Modules. You'll see a list of all the assemblies that are loaded into the process. Locate the one you want to get debug info for. Right-click it and select Symbol Load Information. You'll get a dialog that lists all the directories where it looked for the .pdb file for the assembly. Verify that list against the actual .pdb location. Make sure it doesn't find an old one.

In normal projects, the assembly and its .pdb file should always have been copied by the IDE into the same folder as your .exe, i.e. the bin\Debug folder of your project. Make sure you remove one from the GAC if you've been playing with it.
