<h3 class="section">15.3 Type and Range Checking</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>By default <span class="sc">gdb</span> checks for these errors according to the
|
||
|
|
rules of the current source language. Although <span class="sc">gdb</span> does not check
|
||
|
|
the statements in your program, it can check expressions entered directly
|
||
|
|
into <span class="sc">gdb</span> for evaluation via the <code>print</code> command, for example.
