gdb: Source
9 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 (
Selecting a Frame Selection.), GDB prints the line where execution in
that frame has stopped. You can print other portions of source files by
explicit command.
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
Emacs.
