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