Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [gdb] Fix rethrow exception slicing in pretty_print_insn
Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2022 10:49:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221024084913.19429-2-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221024084913.19429-1-tdevries@suse.de>

The preferred way of rethrowing an exception is by using throw without
expression, because it avoids object slicing of the exception [1].

Fix this in gdb_pretty_print_disassembler::pretty_print_insn.

[1] https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/throw

Tested on x86_64-linux.
