Bug ID: 18301
Summary: add try/catch command to cli
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: cli
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dje at google dot com

IWBN if gdb's scripting language had a try/catch command.

One use case is being able to do something regardless of whether python is
present (with python one can cope with errors in gdb commands).

"catch" is already a gdb command, so try/except would be better.

try
foo
except
bar
end

or some such.
