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

121
122 *INDENT-OFF*
123
124 volatile struct gdb_exception e;
125 TRY_CATCH (e, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
126 {

180 catch_exceptions() was entered are invoked, the (-ve) exception
181 value is then returned by catch_exceptions. If FUNC() returns
182 normally (with a postive or zero return value) then that value is
183 returned by catch_exceptions(). It is an internal_error() for
184 FUNC() to return a negative value.
185
186 For the period of the FUNC() call: UIOUT is installed as the output
187 builder; ERRSTRING is installed as the error/quit message; and a

194 issued and the caller wants to manually issue the error message.
