I think it would be better to post your assembly code instead of the
source code, since we are in the gdb community. : )

So, I am guessing that your compiler does some optimization for your
code, since I don't know the option you used.

If you compile this code with -O2, you will get the following assembly code.

02000194 <main>:
{
int a, b;
a = 10;
b = 20;
printf("hello world\n"); <-- gdb should stop your problem here.
2000194: e1a0c00d mov r12, sp
2000198: e92dd800 stmdb sp!, {r11, r12, lr, pc}
200019c: e59f0014 ldr r0, [pc, #14] ; 20001b8 <main+0x24>
20001a0: e24cb004 sub r11, r12, #4 ; 0x4
20001a4: eb000178 bl 200078c <_IO_printf>
printf("a+b=%d", a+b);
20001a8: e59f000c ldr r0, [pc, #c] ; 20001bc <main+0x28>
20001ac: e3a0101e mov r1, #30 ; 0x1e
20001b0: eb000175 bl 200078c <_IO_printf>
}

If you compile this code without any optimization, you will get the
following assmebly code.

02000194 <main>:
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
2000194: e1a0c00d mov r12, sp
2000198: e92dd800 stmdb sp!, {r11, r12, lr, pc}
200019c: e24cb004 sub r11, r12, #4 ; 0x4
20001a0: e24dd008 sub sp, sp, #8 ; 0x8
int a, b;
a = 10;
20001a4: e3a0300a mov r3, #10 ; 0xa
20001a8: e50b3010 str r3, [r11, -#16]
b = 20;
20001ac: e3a03014 mov r3, #20 ; 0x14
20001b0: e50b3014 str r3, [r11, -#20]
printf("hello world\n");
20001b4: e59f001c ldr r0, [pc, #1c] ; 20001d8 <main+0x44>
20001b8: eb00017c bl 20007b0 <_IO_printf>
printf("a+b=%d", a+b);
20001bc: e51b3010 ldr r3, [r11, -#16]
20001c0: e51b2014 ldr r2, [r11, -#20]
20001c4: e0833002 add r3, r3, r2
20001c8: e59f000c ldr r0, [pc, #c] ; 20001dc <main+0x48>
20001cc: e1a01003 mov r1, r3
20001d0: eb000176 bl 20007b0 <_IO_printf>
20001d4: ea000001 b 20001e0 <main+0x4c>
