Using the gdb debbuger what command can I execute to single step and display the next instruction that will be executed? I'm familiar with windbg where this operation is pretty straight forward.
So for example I have the following function and as I step into the code via si I want to display the next instruction that will be executed without having to do a full disassembly via disassemble. How can I accomplish this?

(gdb)
I found that the following sequence of instructions accomplishes my objective.
(gdb) show disassemble-next-line
Debugger's willingness to use disassemble-next-line is off.
(gdb) set disassemble-next-line on
(gdb) show disassemble-next-line
Debugger's willingness to use disassemble-next-line is on.
Thanks Olaf!
