I was going to say that the Emacs "compile" and "next-error" commands do
a lot of that.  And as Rich says, "gdb-mode" and its commands will show
you the source code wherever GDB stops.

The downside is that you're likely to have to configure some regexps to
make the commands work with all the tools you use.  The upside is that
you *can* configure some regexps to make the commands work with all the
tools you use.
