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.
