How could GDB know what you have, and what you haven't written yet?

By the same token, GDB has no idea what constitutes your project,
and what doesn't.

With STL templates, if your source is compiled with debug info, then any
STL you #include and use will have it as well.

There is an idea to implement a "step into the outermost function on current
line, without stepping into any functions used to set up parameters".

Will that address your actual needs?
Maybe it will get done this year ...
