<p>When executing the <code>guile</code> command, Guile exceptions
|
|
uncaught within the Guile code are translated to calls to the
|
|
<small>GDB</small> error-reporting mechanism. If the command that called
|
|
<code>guile</code> does not handle the error, <small>GDB</small> will
|
|
terminate it and report the error according to the setting of
|
|
the <code>guile print-stack</code> parameter.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>guile print-stack</code> parameter has three settings:

<dl compact="compact">

<dt><code>none</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Nothing is printed.

</p>

</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>message</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>An error message is printed containing the Guile exception name,
|
|
the associated value, and the Guile call stack backtrace at the
|
|
point where the exception was raised. Example:
|

<p><small>GDB</small> errors that happen in <small>GDB</small> commands invoked by
|
|
Guile code are converted to Guile exceptions. The type of the
|
|
Guile exception depends on the error.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Guile procedures provided by <small>GDB</small> can throw the standard
|
|
Guile exceptions like <code>wrong-type-arg</code> and <code>out-of-range</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>User interrupt (via <kbd>C-c</kbd> or by typing <kbd>q</kbd> at a pagination
|
|
prompt) is translated to a Guile <code>signal</code> exception with value
|
|
<code>SIGINT</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><small>GDB</small> Guile procedures can also throw these exceptions:

<dd><p>This exception is thrown when accessing Guile objects that wrap underlying
|

<small>GDB</small> objects have become invalid. For example, a
|
|
<code><gdb:breakpoint></code> object becomes invalid if the user deletes it
|
|
from the command line. The object still exists in Guile, but the
|
|
object it represents is gone. Further operations on this breakpoint
|
|
will throw this exception.
