Use setjmp/longjmp for TRY/CATCH instead of sigsetjmp/siglongjmp
Now that we don't ever throw GDB exceptions from signal handlers [1], we can switch to have TRY/CATCH implemented in terms of plain setjmp/longjmp instead of sigsetjmp/siglongjmp. In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-02/msg00114.html, Yichun Zhang mentions a 11%/14%+ speedup in his GDB python scripts with a patch that did something similar to only a specific set of TRY/CATCH calls. [1] - https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00351.html Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-04-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * common/common-exceptions.c (struct catcher) <buf>: Now a 'jmp_buf' instead of SIGJMP_BUF. (exceptions_state_mc_init): Change return type to 'jmp_buf'. (throw_exception): Use longjmp instead of SIGLONGJMP. * common/common-exceptions.h: Include <setjmp.h> instead of "gdb_setjmp.h". (exceptions_state_mc_init): Change return type to 'jmp_buf'. [GDB_XCPT == GDB_XCPT_SJMP] (TRY): Use setjmp instead of SIGSETJMP. * cp-support.c: Include "gdb_setjmp.h".
