Don't throw exception in dis_asm_memory_error
Hi,
GDB calls some APIs from opcodes to do disassembly and provide some
call backs. This model makes troubles on C++ exception unwinding,
because GDB is a C++ program, and opcodes is still compiled as C.
As we can see, frame #10 and #12 are C++, while #frame 11 is C,
#10 0x0000000000544228 in memory_error (err=TARGET_XFER_E_IO, memaddr=<optimized out>) at ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/corefile.c:237
#11 0x00000000006b0a54 in print_insn_aarch64 (pc=0, info=0xffffffffeeb0) at ../../binutils-gdb/opcodes/aarch64-dis.c:3185
#12 0x0000000000553590 in gdb_pretty_print_insn (gdbarch=gdbarch@entry=0xbbceb0, uiout=uiout@entry=0xbc73d0, di=di@entry=0xffffffffeeb0,
insn=0xffffffffed40, insn@entry=0xffffffffed90, flags=flags@entry=0,
C++ exception unwinder can't go across frame #11 unless it has
unwind table. However, C program on many architectures doesn't
have it in default. As a result, GDB aborts, which is described
in PR 20939.
This is not the first time we see this kind of problem. We've
had a commit 89525768cd086a0798a504c81fdf7ebcd4c904e1
"Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH".
We can fix the disassembly bug in a similar way, this is the option one.
Since opcodes is built with gdb, we fix this problem in a different
way as we did for the same issue with readline. Instead of throwing
exception in dis_asm_memory_error, we record the failed memory
address, and throw exception when GDB returns from opcodes disassemblers.
