<p><a name="index-Modula_002d2-checks-1050"></a>
<blockquote>
<em>Warning:</em> in this release, <span class="sc">gdb</span> does not yet perform type or
range checking.
</blockquote>
<!-- FIXME remove warning when type/range checks added -->
<p><span class="sc">gdb</span> considers two Modula-2 variables type equivalent if:
<ul>
<li>They are of types that have been declared equivalent via a <code>TYPE
</code><var>t1</var><code> = </code><var>t2</var> statement
<li>They have been declared on the same line. (Note: This is true of the
<span class="sc">gnu</span> Modula-2 compiler, but it may not be true of other compilers.)
</ul>
<p>As long as type checking is enabled, any attempt to combine variables
whose types are not equivalent is an error.
<p>Range checking is done on all mathematical operations, assignment, array
index bounds, and all built-in functions and procedures.
