- <h4 class="subsection">15.1.3 Having <small>GDB</small> Infer the Source Language</h4>
-
- <p>To have <small>GDB</small> set the working language automatically, use
- ‘<samp>set language local</samp>’ or ‘<samp>set language auto</samp>’. <small>GDB</small>
- then infers the working language. That is, when your program stops in a
- frame (usually by encountering a breakpoint), <small>GDB</small> sets the
- working language to the language recorded for the function in that
- frame. If the language for a frame is unknown (that is, if the function
- or block corresponding to the frame was defined in a source file that
- does not have a recognized extension), the current working language is
- not changed, and <small>GDB</small> issues a warning.
- </p>
- <p>This may not seem necessary for most programs, which are written
- entirely in one source language. However, program modules and libraries
- written in one source language can be used by a main program written in
- a different source language. Using ‘<samp>set language auto</samp>’ in this
- case frees you from having to set the working language manually.
