 - <h4 class="subsubsection">15.4.9.9 <small>GDB</small> and Modula-2</h4>
 - 
 - <p>Some <small>GDB</small> 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>vtbl</samp>’, ‘<samp>demangle</samp>’,
 - ‘<samp>asm-demangle</samp>’, ‘<samp>object</samp>’, and ‘<samp>union</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>
 - <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 <em>dynamic arrays</em>, 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>{<var>type</var>}<var>adrexp</var></samp>’ is still useful.
 - </p>
 - <a name="index-_0023-in-Modula_002d2"></a>
 - <p>In <small>GDB</small> scripts, the Modula-2 inequality operator <code>#</code> is
 - interpreted as the beginning of a comment.  Use <code><></code> instead.
