<h5 class="subsubsection">15.4.9.9 <span class="sc">gdb</span> and Modula-2</h5>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Some <span class="sc">gdb</span> commands have little use when debugging Modula-2 programs.
|
||
|
Five subcommands of <code>set print</code> and <code>show print</code> apply
|
||
|
specifically to C and C<tt>++</tt>: ‘<samp><span class="samp">vtbl</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">demangle</span></samp>’,
|
||
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">asm-demangle</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">object</span></samp>’, and ‘<samp><span class="samp">union</span></samp>’. The first four
|
||
|
apply to C<tt>++</tt>, and the last to the C <code>union</code> type, which has no direct
|
||
|
analogue in Modula-2.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The <code>@</code> operator (see <a href="Expressions.html#Expressions">Expressions</a>), while available
|
||
|
with any language, is not useful with Modula-2. Its
|
||
|
intent is to aid the debugging of <dfn>dynamic arrays</dfn>, which cannot be
|
||
|
created in Modula-2 as they can in C or C<tt>++</tt>. However, because an
|
||
|
address can be specified by an integral constant, the construct
|
||
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">{</span><var>type</var><span class="samp">}</span><var>adrexp</var></samp>’ is still useful.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_0023_007d-in-Modula_002d2-1055"></a>In <span class="sc">gdb</span> scripts, the Modula-2 inequality operator <code>#</code> is
|
||
|
interpreted as the beginning of a comment. Use <code><></code> instead.
