  67. <blockquote>
  68. <p><em>Warning:</em> in this release, <small>GDB</small> does not yet perform type or
  69. range checking.
  70. </p></blockquote>
  71. <p><small>GDB</small> considers two Modula-2 variables type equivalent if:
  72. </p>
  73. <ul>
  74. <li> They are of types that have been declared equivalent via a <code>TYPE
  75. <var>t1</var> = <var>t2</var></code> statement
  76. </li><li> They have been declared on the same line. (Note: This is true of the
  77. <small>GNU</small> Modula-2 compiler, but it may not be true of other compilers.)
  78. </li></ul>
  79. <p>As long as type checking is enabled, any attempt to combine variables
  80. whose types are not equivalent is an error.
  81. </p>
  82. <p>Range checking is done on all mathematical operations, assignment, array
  83. index bounds, and all built-in functions and procedures.
