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?

2003-06-12  J. Brobecker  <brobecker@gnat.com>

        * 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

+ If the language is set to @code{auto}, @value{GDBN} will automatically
+ select this language if the current frame correspond to an unsupported
+ language.
