195 handler. If an exception (enum return_reason) is thrown using
196 throw_exception() than all cleanups installed since
197 catch_exceptions() was entered are invoked, the (-ve) exception
198 value is then returned by catch_exceptions. If FUNC() returns
199 normally (with a positive or zero return value) then that value is
200 returned by catch_exceptions(). It is an internal_error() for
201 FUNC() to return a negative value.
203 For the period of the FUNC() call: UIOUT is installed as the output
204 builder; ERRSTRING is installed as the error/quit message; and a
205 new cleanup_chain is established. The old values are restored
206 before catch_exceptions() returns.
208 The variant catch_exceptions_with_msg() is the same as
209 catch_exceptions() but adds the ability to return an allocated
210 copy of the gdb error message. This is used when a silent error is
211 issued and the caller wants to manually issue the error message.
213 MASK specifies what to catch; it is normally set to
214 RETURN_MASK_ALL, if for no other reason than that the code which
215 calls catch_errors might not be set up to deal with a quit which
216 isn't caught. But if the code can deal with it, it generally
217 should be RETURN_MASK_ERROR, unless for some reason it is more
218 useful to abort only the portion of the operation inside the
219 catch_errors. Note that quit should return to the command line
220 fairly quickly, even if some further processing is being done.

223 builder variable should just go away.
