Add missing-END_CATCH detection/protection (to gdb's TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH)
While we still have cleanups (i.e., make_cleanup & co), we must be sure to add END_CATCH at the end of a TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH construct. However, it's currently too easy to miss adding the END_CATCH, because the code compiles anyway without it. I realized this when I noticed that another patch I was working on missed several adding END_CATCH in several new TRY/CATCH uses. This commit fixes that by making TRY open a new scope that is only closed by END_CATCH. This way, if you forget to add the END_CATCH, then compilation fails due to the unbalanced curly braces. This caught a couple places where we were missing END_CATCH in current master, also fixed by the patch. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-10-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * cli/cli-cmds.c (complete_command): Add missing END_CATCH. * common/common-exceptions.h (TRY): Open an outermost scope. Expand intro comment. (CATCH): Reindent. (END_CATCH): Close the outermost scope. * completer.c (complete_line_internal): Add missing END_CATCH.
