74<blockquote>
75<p><em>Warning:</em> in this release, <small>GDB</small> does not yet perform type or
76range checking.
77</p></blockquote>
78
79<p><small>GDB</small> considers two Modula-2 variables type equivalent if:
80</p>
81<ul>
82<li> They are of types that have been declared equivalent via a <code>TYPE
83<var>t1</var> = <var>t2</var></code> statement
84
85</li><li> They have been declared on the same line.  (Note:  This is true of the
86<small>GNU</small> Modula-2 compiler, but it may not be true of other compilers.)
87</li></ul>
88
89<p>As long as type checking is enabled, any attempt to combine variables
90whose types are not equivalent is an error.
91</p>
92<p>Range checking is done on all mathematical operations, assignment, array
93index bounds, and all built-in functions and procedures.
