catching exception in gdb

[Alain Magloire]

Bonjour

  As suggested in the gdb doc, I was doing some hackish stuff in gdb-5.x to get catching exception working
in the eclipse CDT IDE.  Using the C++ ABI and putting a "hidden" breakpoint in the "__cxa_xxx" functions.
So far so good, but once stop how to extract the class deep in the internal of the ABI.
I could not fine any ABI functions to do this nor walking through the arguments.

Any suggestions ?

gdb-6.x commands
  catch throw <exceptname>  - a particular exception, when thrown
  catch catch <exceptname>  - a particular exception, when caught
do not seem to work

(gdb) catch catch Size
Junk at end of arguments.
