Is there a way to test for whether we are on a breakpoint, using pure gdb scripting?

I am attempting to use this answer to generate an instruction trace between two lines of code.

Unfortunately, the condition in the while loop is a simple count, and I need to keep running the loop until a particular line of code in the source code is reached.

Does there exists a way to check whether we are either on a particular line of code, or at a particular breakpoint, within a pure gdb script?

I am aware of the solution here which uses the Python API. I am also aware of pin-instat, but I want to know whether this can done with pure gdb.

What if do what you want in this way

1) Get information about pc for the line which you would like to reach

Use info line or use disas /m to get information about addresses of the particular line of code.

2) Write the similar loop as in Tracing/profiling instructions

 while $pc != ADDRESS-FROM-FIRST-STEP
   si 
 end.

This way you will keep running the loop until a particular line of code in the source code is reached
