+<h3 class="section">17.2 Continuing at a Different Address</h3>
+
+<p>Ordinarily, when you continue your program, you do so at the place where
+it stopped, with the <code>continue</code> command. You can instead continue at
+an address of your own choosing, with the following commands:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dd><a name="index-jump"></a>
+<a name="index-j-_0028jump_0029"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>jump <var>locspec</var></code></dt>
+<dt><code>j <var>locspec</var></code></dt>
+<dd><p>Resume execution at the address of the code location that results from
+resolving <var>locspec</var>.
+See <a href="Location-Specifications.html#Location-Specifications">Location Specifications</a>, for a description of the different
+forms of <var>locspec</var>. If <var>locspec</var> resolves to more than one
+address, the command aborts before jumping.
+Execution stops again immediately if there is a breakpoint there. It
+is common practice to use the <code>tbreak</code> command in conjunction
+with <code>jump</code>. See <a href="Set-Breaks.html#Set-Breaks">Setting Breakpoints</a>.
+</p>
+<p>The <code>jump</code> command does not change the current stack frame, or
+the stack pointer, or the contents of any memory location or any
+register other than the program counter. If <var>locspec</var> resolves to
+an address in a different function from the one currently executing, the
+results may be bizarre if the two functions expect different patterns
+of arguments or of local variables. For this reason, the <code>jump</code>
+command requests confirmation if the jump address is not in the
+function currently executing. However, even bizarre results are
+predictable if you are well acquainted with the machine-language code
+of your program.
+</p></dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>On many systems, you can get much the same effect as the <code>jump</code>
+command by storing a new value into the register <code>$pc</code>. The
+difference is that this does not start your program running; it only
+changes the address of where it <em>will</em> run when you continue. For
+example,
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">set $pc = 0x485
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>makes the next <code>continue</code> command or stepping command execute at
+address <code>0x485</code>, rather than at the address where your program stopped.
+See <a href="Continuing-and-Stepping.html#Continuing-and-Stepping">Continuing and Stepping</a>.
+</p>
+<p>The most common occasion to use the <code>jump</code> command is to back
+up&mdash;perhaps with more breakpoints set&mdash;over a portion of a program
+that has already executed, in order to examine its execution in more
+detail.
