Neither a Language Switch Nor a File Extension
Go Up to Specifying the Source File
If gpre finds neither a language extension nor a filename extension, it looks for a file in the following order:
filename.e(C)filename.epas(Pascal)filename.ef(FORTRAN)filename.ecob(COBOL)filename.ea(VERDIXAda)filename.eada(Alsys, and Telesoft Ada)
If gpre finds such a file, it generates an output file with the appropriate extension. If gpre does not find the file, it returns the following error:
gpre: can’t find filename with any known extension. Giving up.
