Subject: [PATCH v4 3/8] Catch gdb_exception_error instead of gdb_exception (in many places)
Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2023 18:56:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230112015630.32999-4-kevinb@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230112015630.32999-1-kevinb@redhat.com>

As described in the previous commit for this series, I became
concerned that there might be instances in which a QUIT (due to either
a SIGINT or SIGTERM) might not cause execution to return to the top
level.  In some (though very few) instances, it is okay to not
propagate the exception for a Ctrl-C / SIGINT, but I don't think that
it is ever okay to swallow the exception caused by a SIGTERM.
Allowing that to happen would definitely be a deviation from the
current behavior in which GDB exits upon receipt of a SIGTERM.

I looked at all cases where an exception handler catches a
gdb_exception.  Handlers which did NOT need modification were those
which satisifed one or more of the following conditions:

  1) There is no call path to maybe_quit() in the try block.  I used a
     static analysis tool to help make this determination.  In
     instances where the tool didn't provide an answer of "yes, this
     call path can result in maybe_quit() being called", I reviewed it
     by hand.

  2) The catch block contains a throw for conditions that it
     doesn't want to handle; these "not handled" conditions
     must include the quit exception and the new "forced quit" exception.

  3) There was (also) a catch for gdb_exception_quit.

Any try/catch blocks not meeting the above conditions could
potentially swallow a QUIT exception.

My first thought was to add catch blocks for gdb_exception_quit and
then rethrow the exception.  But Pedro pointed out that this can be
handled without adding additional code by simply catching
gdb_exception_error instead.  That's what this patch series does.

There are some oddball cases which needed to be handled differently,
plus the extension languages, but those are handled in later patches.
