Kill program when a certain breakpoint hits

I am using gdb to debug my program and I need to try many combinations of inputs. So to make it easier for me, is there a way to kill the debug if a certain breakpoint hits so I can run it again with a different input?

You can attach commands to breakpoints. Documentation. You want something like:

break foo        # creates breakpoint 1
commands 1
  call _exit(1)  # causes inferior process to exit. 
end
