<p>If type and range checking are set automatically by <small>GDB</small>, they
both default to <code>on</code> whenever the working language changes to
Modula-2.  This happens regardless of whether you or <small>GDB</small>
selected the working language.
</p>
<p>If you allow <small>GDB</small> to set the language automatically, then entering
code compiled from a file whose name ends with <samp>.mod</samp> sets the
working language to Modula-2.  See <a href="Automatically.html#Automatically">Having <small>GDB</small>
Infer the Source Language</a>, for further details.
