[C++] Always use setjmp/longjmp for exceptions
We currently throw exceptions from signal handlers (e.g., for Quit/ctrl-c). But throwing C++ exceptions from signal handlers is undefined. (That doesn't restore signal masks, like siglongjmp does, and, because asynchronous signals can arrive at any instruction, we'd have to build _everything_ with -fasync-unwind-tables to make it reliable.) It happens to work on x86_64 GNU/Linux at least, but it's likely broken on other ports. Until we stop throwing from signal handlers, use setjmp/longjmp based exceptions in C++ mode as well. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-11-17 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * common/common-exceptions.h (GDB_XCPT_SJMP, GDB_XCPT_TRY) (GDB_XCPT_RAW_TRY, GDB_XCPT): Define. Replace __cplusplus checks with GDB_XCPT checks throughout. * common/common-exceptions.c: Replace __cplusplus checks with GDB_XCPT checks throughout.
