15.4.9.9 GDB and Modula-2
.........................
Some GDB commands have little use when debugging Modula-2 programs.
Five subcommands of 'set print' and 'show print' apply specifically to C
and C++: 'vtbl', 'demangle', 'asm-demangle', 'object', and 'union'. The
first four apply to C++, and the last to the C 'union' type, which has
no direct analogue in Modula-2.
The '@' operator (
Expressions Expressions.), while available
with any language, is not useful with Modula-2. Its intent is to aid
the debugging of "dynamic arrays", which cannot be created in Modula-2
as they can in C or C++. However, because an address can be specified
by an integral constant, the construct '{TYPE}ADREXP' is still useful.
In GDB scripts, the Modula-2 inequality operator '#' is interpreted
as the beginning of a comment. Use '<>' instead.
