Looking at testsuite results, I noticed this warning in an MI test:
~"\nCatchpoint "
~"2, "
&"warning: failed to get exception name: No definition of \"e.full_name\" in current context.\n"
~"exception at 0x000000000040192d in foo () at /home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex/foo.adb:20\n"

PASS: gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp: continue until CE caught by all-exceptions catchpoint
The problem is that:
- MI prints the breakpoint hit twice: once on the MI stream;
another time on the console stream.
- After printing the Ada catchpoint hit, gdb selects a non-current
frame, from within the catchpoint's print_it routine.
So the second time the breakpoint is printed, the selected frame is no
longer the current frame, and then evaluating e.full_name in
ada_exception_name_addr fails.
This commit fixes the problem and enhances the gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp
test to make sure the catchpoint hit is printed correctly on the
console stream too.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-06-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* ada-lang.c (ada_exception_name_addr_1): Add comment.
(print_it_exception): Select the current frame.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2016-06-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp (continue_to_exception): New procedure.
(top level): Use it instead of mi_execute_to.
... in place of the CLI "catch ..." commands. The latter were used
because the GDB/MI equivalents were not available at the time.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp: Adjusts all "catch ..." tests to
use the appropriate GDB/MI command instead, and verify
the test output.
Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.

This patch should help the user understand why the debugger is not
able to insert Ada exception catchpoints when the Ada runtime was
stripped of debugging info, as is often the case on many GNU/Linux
distros:
(gdb) catch exception
Your Ada runtime appears to be missing some debugging information.
Cannot insert Ada exception catchpoint in this configuration.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_has_this_exception_support): Raise an error
if we could find the Ada exception hook in the Ada runtime,
but no debugging info for that hook.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp, gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp: Adjust
expected output for unsupported case.
* gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp: Skip as unsupported if "catch exception"
throws "Cannot insert catchpoints in this configuration".
* gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp: Likewise.
This rewrites the code generating the Ada exception catchpoint hit
notification for both the GDB/MI case as well as the non-MI case,
by using the relevant ui_out_* functions to generate the output.
the MI notifications for Ada exception catchpoints now include
the stop reason, and the breakpoint "disp", much like other breakpoint
events do. It also introduces a new field "exception-name" for
exception catchpoints (excluding "failed assertion catchpoints,
where we just want to know that it was a failed assertion).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* breakpoint.h (bpdisp_text): Add declaration.
* breakpoint.c (bpdisp_text): Make non-static.
* ada-lang.c: #include "mi/mi-common.h".
(print_it_exception): Rewrite to improve GDB/MI output.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Ada Exception Information): Document
the "exception-name" field in the *stopped async record.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex: New testcase.
