@cindex stop on C@t{++} exceptions
The throwing, re-throwing, or catching of a C@t{++} exception.
+@vindex $_exception@r{, convenience variable}
+The convenience variable @code{$_exception} is available at an
+exception-related catchpoint, on some systems. This holds the
+exception being thrown.
+
There are currently some limitations to C@t{++} exception handling in
@value{GDBN}:
supported.
@item
+The @code{$_exception} convenience variable relies on the presence of
+some SDT probes in @code{libstdc++}. If these probes are not present,
+then this variable cannot be used.
+
+@item
+The @code{$_exception} convenience variable is only valid at the
+instruction at which an exception-related catchpoint is set.
+
+@item
When an exception-related catchpoint is hit, @value{GDBN} stops at a
location in the system library which implements runtime exception
support for C@t{++}, usually @code{libstdc++}. You can use @code{up}
The variable @code{$_exitcode} is automatically set to the exit code when
the program being debugged terminates.
+@item $_exception
+The variable @code{$_exception} is set to the exception object being
+thrown at an exception-related catchpoint. @xref{Set Catchpoints}.
+
@item $_probe_argc
@itemx $_probe_arg0@dots{}$_probe_arg11
Arguments to a static probe. @xref{Static Probe Points}.
