  65. <h3 class="section">15.2 Displaying the Language</h3>
  66. <p>The following commands help you find out which language is the
  67. working language, and also what language source files were written in.
  68. </p>
  69. <dl compact="compact">
  70. <dt><code>show language</code></dt>
  71. <dd><a name="show-language"></a><a name="index-show-language"></a>
  72. <p>Display the current working language. This is the
  73. language you can use with commands such as <code>print</code> to
  74. build and compute expressions that may involve variables in your program.
  75. </p>
  76. </dd>
  77. <dt><code>info frame</code></dt>
  78. <dd><a name="index-info-frame_002c-show-the-source-language"></a>
  79. <p>Display the source language for this frame. This language becomes the
  80. working language if you use an identifier from this frame.
  81. See <a href="Frame-Info.html#Frame-Info">Information about a Frame</a>, to identify the other
  82. information listed here.
  83. </p>
  84. </dd>
  85. <dt><code>info source</code></dt>
  86. <dd><a name="index-info-source_002c-show-the-source-language"></a>
  87. <p>Display the source language of this source file.
  88. See <a href="Symbols.html#Symbols">Examining the Symbol Table</a>, to identify the other
  89. information listed here.
  90. </p></dd>
  91. </dl>
  92. <p>In unusual circumstances, you may have source files with extensions
  93. not in the standard list. You can then set the extension associated
  94. with a language explicitly:
  95. </p>
  96. <dl compact="compact">
  97. <dt><code>set extension-language <var>ext</var> <var>language</var></code></dt>
  98. <dd><a name="index-set-extension_002dlanguage"></a>
  99. <p>Tell <small>GDB</small> that source files with extension <var>ext</var> are to be
  100. assumed as written in the source language <var>language</var>.
  101. </p>
  102. </dd>
  103. <dt><code>info extensions</code></dt>
  104. <dd><a name="index-info-extensions"></a>
  105. <p>List all the filename extensions and the associated languages.
  106. </p></dd>
