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.
