C and C++
---------

   Since C and C++ are so closely related, many features of GDB apply
to both languages.  Whenever this is the case, we discuss those
languages together.

   The C++ debugging facilities are jointly implemented by the C++
compiler and GDB.  Therefore, to debug your C++ code effectively, you
must compile your C++ programs with a supported C++ compiler, such as
GNU `g++', or the HP ANSI C++ compiler (`aCC').

   For best results when using GNU C++, use the stabs debugging format.
You can select that format explicitly with the `g++' command-line
options `-gstabs' or `-gstabs+'.  See Note: Options for Debugging Your
Program or GNU CC, for more information.
