<h3 class="section">15.5 Unsupported Languages</h3>
<p><a name="index-unsupported-languages-1095"></a><a name="index-minimal-language-1096"></a>In addition to the other fully-supported programming languages,
<span class="sc">gdb</span> also provides a pseudo-language, called <code>minimal</code>.
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 <span class="sc">gdb</span>.
<p>If the language is set to <code>auto</code>, <span class="sc">gdb</span> will automatically
select this language if the current frame corresponds to an unsupported
language.
