gdb: Checks

 
 15.3 Type and Range Checking
 ============================
 
 Some languages are designed to guard you against making seemingly common
 errors through a series of compile- and run-time checks.  These include
 checking the type of arguments to functions and operators and making
 sure mathematical overflows are caught at run time.  Checks such as
 these help to ensure a program's correctness once it has been compiled
 by eliminating type mismatches and providing active checks for range
 errors when your program is running.
 
    By default GDB checks for these errors according to the rules of the
 current source language.  Although GDB does not check the statements in
 your program, it can check expressions entered directly into GDB for
 evaluation via the 'print' command, for example.
