The machanism guesses the language based on the source file name extension:
[ralf@dea tmp]$ echo -n > c.c && mips-linux-gcc -E -dM -xassembler-with-cpp c.c
| grep LANG
#define __LANGUAGE_C 1
#define _LANGUAGE_C 1
#define LANGUAGE_C 1
[ralf@dea tmp]$ echo -n > c.S && mips-linux-gcc -E -dM c.S | grep LANG
#define LANGUAGE_ASSEMBLY 1
#define _LANGUAGE_ASSEMBLY 1
#define __LANGUAGE_ASSEMBLY 1
[ralf@dea tmp]$
Buggy? Yes ...
