Subject: [RFA/doco] Add documentation for the ``minimal'' language
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2003 01:00:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030613005945.GE947@gnat.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 338 bytes --]
Hello,
here is a first shot at providing some documentation regarding the
new pseudo-language we added not-so-recently. There isn't much to say...
Does it look ok?

* gdb.texinfo (Unsupported languages): New section.
(Languages): Add link to new section.
Thanks,

Joel

+ In addition to the other fully-supported languages, @value{GDBN}
+ also provides a pseudo-language, called @code{minimal}. It does
+ not represent a real-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 languages currently not supported by @value{GDBN}.
+
+ If the language is set to @code{auto}, @value{GDBN} will automatically
+ select this language if the current frame correspond to an unsupported
+ language.
