  20    <p>Since C and C<tt>++</tt> are so closely related, many features of GDB apply
  21 to both languages.  Whenever this is the case, we discuss those languages
  22 together.
  23
  24    <p>The C<tt>++</tt> debugging facilities are jointly implemented by the C<tt>++</tt>
  25 compiler and GDB.  Therefore, to debug your C<tt>++</tt> code
  26 effectively, you must compile your C<tt>++</tt> programs with a supported
  27 C<tt>++</tt> compiler, such as <small>GNU</small> <code>g++</code>, or the HP ANSI C<tt>++</tt>
  28 compiler (<code>aCC</code>).
  29
  30    <p>For best results when using <small>GNU</small> C<tt>++</tt>, use the stabs debugging
  31 format.  You can select that format explicitly with the <code>g++</code>
  32 command-line options <code>-gstabs</code> or <code>-gstabs+</code>.  See
  33 <a href="../gcc.info/Debugging-Options.html#Debugging%20Options">Options for Debugging Your Program or <small>GNU</small> CC</a>, for more information.
