@itemx set step-mode on
The @code{set step-mode on} command causes the @code{step} command to to
stop at the first instruction of a function which contains no debug line
information rather than stepping over it.
This is useful in cases where you may be interested in inspecting the assembly
language of a function which has no symbolic info and do not want @value{GDBN}
to automatically skip over this function.
@item set step-mode off
Causes the step command to step over any functions which contains no
debug information. This is the default.
