@node Ada Exceptions
@subsubsection Ada Exceptions
A command is provided to list all Ada exceptions:
@table @code
@kindex info exceptions
@item info exceptions
@itemx info exceptions @var{regexp}
The @code{info exceptions} command allows you to list all Ada exceptions
defined within the program being debugged, as well as their addresses.
With a regular expression, @var{regexp}, as argument, only those exceptions
whose names match @var{regexp} are listed.
@end table
Below is a small example, showing how the command can be used, first
without argument, and next with a regular expression passed as an
argument.
@smallexample
(@value{GDBP}) info exceptions
All defined Ada exceptions:
constraint_error: 0x613da0
program_error: 0x613d20
storage_error: 0x613ce0
tasking_error: 0x613ca0
const.aint_global_e: 0x613b00
(@value{GDBP}) info exceptions const.aint
All Ada exceptions matching regular expression "const.aint":
constraint_error: 0x613da0
const.aint_global_e: 0x613b00
@end smallexample
It is also possible to ask @value{GDBN} to stop your program's execution
when an exception is raised. For more details, see @ref{Set Catchpoints}.
