However we cannot use the frame PC as-is, because it usually points to the instruction following the "call", which is sometimes the first instruction of another function. So we rely on get_frame_address_in_block() which provides us with a PC which is guaranteed to be inside the frame's code block. */ if (get_frame_address_in_block_if_available (fi, &pc)) { struct symtab *s = find_pc_symtab (pc); //xyzdje if (s && s->language != current_language->la_language && s->language != language_unknown && language_mode == language_mode_auto) set_language (s->language); } For example, if we stop in a .h file included by a c++ file, will this set the language to C (instead of the right answer of C++)? An open question I have is: Is the language of non-primary symtabs (e.g., headers) ever useful (except as is currently used in the heuristics to try to compute the language of the primary symtab) ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
