I have a set of basic breakpoints defined in a user-defined fn setup in my .gdbinit. So, every time i start gdb, I have to execute that fn. to set all my brkpoints , before I start debugging. Can I configure my .gdbinit so that whenever it starts , it first executes my user-defined fn setup ?

To execute one line of code, type "step" or "s". If the line to be executed is a function call, gdb will step into that function and start executing its code one line at a time. If you want to execute the entire function with one keypress, type "next" or "n".
Execute commands from a script The commands in a script file are exactly the same as commands on the gdb command line. You can specify the script name when you are starting GDB using execute script switch ( -x ). You can also execute a GDB script inside GDB using source command.
The difference between "next" and "step" is that "step" stops inside a called function, while "next" executes called functions at (nearly) full speed, stopping only at the next line in the current function.
Quitting GDB To exit GDB, use the quit command (abbreviated q ), or type an end-of-file character (usually C-d ). If you do not supply expression , GDB will terminate normally; otherwise it will terminate using the result of expression as the error code.
Just call it by function name:
My .gdbinit:
define setup
echo Foobar\n
end
setup #This is the function call
And when I run it:
$ gdb
