<h4 class="subsection">15.1.1 List of Filename Extensions and Languages</h4>
<p>If a source file name ends in one of the following extensions, then
<span class="sc">gdb</span> infers that its language is the one indicated.
<dl>
<dt><samp><span class="file">.ada</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="file">.ads</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="file">.adb</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="file">.a</span></samp><dd>Ada source file.
<br><dt><samp><span class="file">.c</span></samp><dd>C source file
<br><dt><samp><span class="file">.C</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="file">.cc</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="file">.cp</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="file">.cpp</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="file">.cxx</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="file">.c++</span></samp><dd>C<tt>++</tt> source file

<br><dt><samp><span class="file">.s</span></samp><dt><samp><span class="file">.S</span></samp><dd>Assembler source file. This actually behaves almost like C, but
<span class="sc">gdb</span> does not skip over function prologues when stepping.

<p>In addition, you may set the language associated with a filename
extension. See <a href="Show.html#Show">Displaying the Language</a>.
