gdb: Unsupported Languages

 
 15.5 Unsupported Languages
 ==========================
 
 In addition to the other fully-supported programming languages, GDB also
 provides a pseudo-language, called 'minimal'.  It does not represent a
 real programming language, but provides a set of capabilities close to
 what the C or assembly languages provide.  This should allow most simple
 operations to be performed while debugging an application that uses a
 language currently not supported by GDB.
 
    If the language is set to 'auto', GDB will automatically select this
 language if the current frame corresponds to an unsupported language.
