Examining
source files
GDB
can print parts of your program’s source, since the debugging information
recorded in the program tells GDB what source files were used to build
it. When your program stops, GDB spontaneously prints the line where it
stopped. Likewise, when you select a stack frame (see Selecting
a frame), GDB prints the line where execution in that frame
has stopped. You can print other portions of source files by explicit command.
See the following documentation for more specific discussion on source
files and GDB.
If you use GDB through its GNU
Emacs interface, you may prefer to use Emacs facilities to view source;
see Using
GDB under GNU Emacs.
