/* Macro to wrap up standard try/catch behavior.

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

   For instance:

   *INDENT-OFF*

   volatile struct gdb_exception e;
   TRY_CATCH (e, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
     {
     }
   switch (e.reason)

/* Call FUNC(UIOUT, FUNC_ARGS) but wrapped within an exception
   handler.  If an exception (enum return_reason) is thrown using
   throw_exception() than all cleanups installed since
   catch_exceptions() was entered are invoked, the (-ve) exception
   value is then returned by catch_exceptions.  If FUNC() returns
   normally (with a positive or zero return value) then that value is
   returned by catch_exceptions().  It is an internal_error() for
   FUNC() to return a negative value.

   For the period of the FUNC() call: UIOUT is installed as the output
   builder; ERRSTRING is installed as the error/quit message; and a
   new cleanup_chain is established.  The old values are restored
   before catch_exceptions() returns.

   The variant catch_exceptions_with_msg() is the same as
   catch_exceptions() but adds the ability to return an allocated
   copy of the gdb error message.  This is used when a silent error is 
   issued and the caller wants to manually issue the error message.

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

   FIXME; cagney/2001-08-13: The need to override the global UIOUT
   builder variable should just go away.

   This function supersedes catch_errors().
