https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GCCCompileAndExecute
as written primarily by Phil recently mentions
Currently the project does not “patch in” the newly compiled bytes at
the program counter. That might be a viable solution in the future,
perhaps as we explore other avenues for this project (like “fast”
breakpoints).
There are such plans intended as fast breakpoint conditions evaluation similar
to current agent expressions but more general.
What Daniel Gutson mentions is IMO "fix-and-continue", this was implemented by
Apple in GDB-6.3 - Googled now its announcement:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2003-06/msg00500.html
It is one of the possible future goals of the "compile" project above although
currently it is considered as pretty far goal.
