Source language type
The assembler records the source language type.
For cascade compilers, the assembler records the source-language type. In the XCOFF file, the high-order byte of the n_type field of a symbol table entry with the C_FILE storage class holds the source language type information. The following language types are defined:
| High-Order Byte | Language |
|---|---|
| 0x00 | C |
| 0x01 | FORTRAN |
| 0x02 | Pascal |
| 0x03 | Ada |
| 0x04 | PL/I |
| 0x05 | Basic |
| 0x06 | Lisp |
| 0x07 | Cobol |
| 0x08 | Modula2 |
| 0x09 | C++ |
| 0x0A | RPG |
| 0x0B | PL8, PLIX |
| 0x0C | Assembler |
| 0x0D-BxFF | Reserved |
The source language type is indicated by the .source pseudo-op. By default, the source-language type is "Assembler." For more information, see the .source pseudo-op.
