Author gdb - setting values

Hi,

is it possible to set values to registers during
the simulation of the code with GDB?

When I do a instruction stepwise simulation
with "stepi", I see that the register "cycles"
[info register cycles] increases. Can I reset it
at a special point of the program in GDB to 0?

Thank you.

Unless there is something special about the "cycles" register, you can
set it with:

(gdb) set $cycles=0

and print it with:

(gdb) p $cycles
