<p>The <code>set print union</code> and <code>show print union</code> commands apply to
the <code>union</code> type.  When set to &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">on</span></samp>&rsquo;, any <code>union</code> that is
inside a <code>struct</code> or <code>class</code> is also printed.  Otherwise, it
appears as &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">{...}</span></samp>&rsquo;.

   <p>The <code>@</code> operator aids in the debugging of dynamic arrays, formed
with pointers and a memory allocation function.  See <a href="Expressions.html#Expressions">Expressions</a>.
