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

126 *INDENT-OFF*
127

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

211 builder variable should just go away.
