| |
| <p><span class="sc">gdb</span> can print parts of your program's source, since the debugging |
| information recorded in the program tells <span class="sc">gdb</span> what source files were |
| used to build it. When your program stops, <span class="sc">gdb</span> spontaneously prints |
| the line where it stopped. Likewise, when you select a stack frame |
| (see <a href="Selection.html#Selection">Selecting a Frame</a>), <span class="sc">gdb</span> prints the line where |
| execution in that frame has stopped. You can print other portions of |
| source files by explicit command. |
| |
| <p>If you use <span class="sc">gdb</span> through its <span class="sc">gnu</span> Emacs interface, you may |
| prefer to use Emacs facilities to view source; see <a href="Emacs.html#Emacs">Using <span class="sc">gdb</span> under <span class="sc">gnu</span> Emacs</a>. |
