+<h4 class="subsection">15.1.3 Having <small>GDB</small> Infer the Source Language</h4>
+
+<p>To have <small>GDB</small> set the working language automatically, use
+&lsquo;<samp>set language local</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>set language auto</samp>&rsquo;. <small>GDB</small>
+then infers the working language. That is, when your program stops in a
+frame (usually by encountering a breakpoint), <small>GDB</small> sets the
+working language to the language recorded for the function in that
+frame. If the language for a frame is unknown (that is, if the function
+or block corresponding to the frame was defined in a source file that
+does not have a recognized extension), the current working language is
+not changed, and <small>GDB</small> issues a warning.
+</p>
+<p>This may not seem necessary for most programs, which are written
+entirely in one source language. However, program modules and libraries
+written in one source language can be used by a main program written in
+a different source language. Using &lsquo;<samp>set language auto</samp>&rsquo; in this
+case frees you from having to set the working language manually.
+</p>
