#### List of filename extensions and languages

If a source file name ends in one of the following extensions, then GDB infers that its language is the one indicated.

`.c`
  C source file
`.C`
`.cc`
`.cp`
`.cpp`
`.cxx`
`.c++`
  C`++` source file
`.f`
`.F`
  Fortran source file
`.ch`
`.c186`
`.c286`
  CHILL source file
`.mod`
  Modula-2 source file
`.s`
`.S`
  Assembler source file. This actually behaves almost like C, but GDB does not skip over function prologues when stepping.

In addition, you may set the language associated with a filename extension. See Displaying the language.
