- <a name="index-languages"></a>
-
- <p>Although programming languages generally have common aspects, they are
- rarely expressed in the same manner. For instance, in ANSI C,
- dereferencing a pointer <code>p</code> is accomplished by <code>*p</code>, but in
- Modula-2, it is accomplished by <code>p^</code>. Values can also be
- represented (and displayed) differently. Hex numbers in C appear as
- ‘<samp>0x1ae</samp>’, while in Modula-2 they appear as ‘<samp>1AEH</samp>’.
- </p>
- <a name="index-working-language"></a>
- <p>Language-specific information is built into <small>GDB</small> for some languages,
- allowing you to express operations like the above in your program’s
- native language, and allowing <small>GDB</small> to output values in a manner
- consistent with the syntax of your program’s native language. The
- language you use to build expressions is called the <em>working
- language</em>.
