[Solved]-Debugging C++ in an Eclipse-based IDE - is there something like "step over loop/cycle"?-eclipse

use until command instead of next.

from gdb documentation:

continue running until a source line past the current line, in the current stack frame, is reached. this command is used to avoid single stepping through a loop more than once.

if you will use until instead of next, gdb will step over loops only once, which almost exactly what you want.
