Re: [PATCH v2 7/8] Add $_ada_exception convenience variable

[Andrew Burgess <andrew.burgess@embecosm.com>]

* Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> [2019-08-01 11:04:11 -0600]:

> This adds the $_ada_exception convenience variable.  It is set by the
> Ada exception catchpoints, and holds the address of the exception
> currently being thrown.  This is useful because it allows more
> fine-grained filtering of exceptions than is possible using the
> existing "catch" syntax.
> 
> This also simplifies Ada catchpoints somewhat; because the catchpoint
> must now carry the "kind", it's possible to remove many helper
> functions.

When I ran these tests I noticed that this new test was failing for
me.  It turns out that a previous test in this file already fails for
me, like this:

    (gdb) catch exception some_kind_of_error
    Your Ada runtime appears to be missing some debugging information.
    Cannot insert Ada exception catchpoint in this configuration.
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.ada/catch_ex_std.exp: catch exception some_kind_of_error

And as a result, the new test will also fail.

I suspect there's probably a package I should be installing to resolve
this issue, but I put together the patch below that spots the above
warning and reports UNSUPPORTED rather than FAIL.  I don't know if
this is something you feel is worth including or not?

Obviously I've only confirmed that the UNSUPPORTED path through the
code works, so you'd need to test the PASS path for me.

Thanks,
Andrew
