You can use @value{GDBN} to debug programs written in C, C++, and @c I use "MOD2" as a "miscellaneous languages" flag here. According to
Modula-2. @c a comment in all-cfg.texi, there should be separate flags for chill
@c and Pascal, but that seems kind of silly since we only mention them
@c in passing--IMHO the manual should be configurable as little as we
@c can get away with -kingdon.
Support for Modula-2 and Chill is partial. For information on Modula-2,
@xref{Modula-2}; there is no further documentation on Chill yet.
Pascal programs which use sets, subranges, file variables, or nested
functions will not currently work. @value{GDBN} does not support
entering expressions, printing values, etc. using Pascal syntax.

select that format.
In particular, cfront based compilers such as Sun's C++ are not fully
supported.
