Adds some MI commands to catch C++ exceptions. The new commands are
-catch-throw, -catch-rethrow, and -catch-catch, these all correspond
to the CLI commands 'catch throw', 'catch rethrow', and 'catch catch'.
Each MI command takes two optional arguments, '-t' has the effect of
calling 'tcatch' instead of 'catch', for example:
(gdb)
-catch-throw -t
Is the same as:
(gdb) tcatch throw
There is also a '-r REGEXP' argument that can supply a regexp to match
against the exception type, so:
(gdb)
-catch-catch -r PATTERN
Is the same as:
(gdb) catch catch PATTERN
The change in print_mention_exception_catchpoint might seem a little
strange; changing the output from using ui_out::field_int and
ui_out::text to using ui_out::message.
The print_mention_exception_catchpoint is used as the 'print_mention'
method for the exception catchpoint breakpoint object. Most of the
other 'print_mention' methods (see breakpoint.c) use either
printf_filtered, of ui_out::message. Using field_int was causing an
unexpected field to be added to the MI output. Here's the output
without the change in print_mention_exception_catchpoint:
(gdb)
-catch-throw
^done,bkptno="1",bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",
enabled="y",addr="0x00000000004006c0",
what="exception throw",catch-type="throw",
thread-groups=["i1"],times="0"}
Notice the breakpoint number appears in both the 'bkptno' field, and
the 'number' field within the 'bkpt' tuple. Here's the output with
the change in print_mention_exception_catchpoint:
(gdb)
-catch-throw
^done,bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",
enabled="y",addr="0x00000000004006c0",
what="exception throw",catch-type="throw",
thread-groups=["i1"],times="0"}
