119 The double loop lets us correctly handle code "break"ing out of the
120 try catch block. (It works as the "break" only exits the inner
121 "while" loop, the outer for loop detects this handling it
122 correctly.) Of course "return" and "goto" are not so lucky.

184 handler. If an exception (enum return_reason) is thrown using
185 throw_exception() than all cleanups installed since
186 catch_exceptions() was entered are invoked, the (-ve) exception
187 value is then returned by catch_exceptions. If FUNC() returns
787274f0 188 normally (with a positive or zero return value) then that value is

AC
189 returned by catch_exceptions(). It is an internal_error() for
190 FUNC() to return a negative value.
191
192 For the period of the FUNC() call: UIOUT is installed as the output
193 builder; ERRSTRING is installed as the error/quit message; and a
194 new cleanup_chain is established. The old values are restored
195 before catch_exceptions() returns.
196
197 The variant catch_exceptions_with_msg() is the same as
198 catch_exceptions() but adds the ability to return an allocated
199 copy of the gdb error message. This is used when a silent error is
200 issued and the caller wants to manually issue the error message.

202 MASK specifies what to catch; it is normally set to
203 RETURN_MASK_ALL, if for no other reason than that the code which
204 calls catch_errors might not be set up to deal with a quit which
205 isn't caught. But if the code can deal with it, it generally
206 should be RETURN_MASK_ERROR, unless for some reason it is more
207 useful to abort only the portion of the operation inside the
208 catch_errors. Note that quit should return to the command line
209 fairly quickly, even if some further processing is being done.
