+@node Exception Handling,, Frame Info, Stack
+
+Some languages, such as GNU C++, implement exception handling.  GDB
+can be used to examine what caused the program to raise an exception
+and to list the exceptions the program is prepared to handle at a
+given point in time.
+
+@cindex raise exceptions
+GNU C++ raises an exception by calling a library function named
+@code{__raise_exception} which has the following ANSI C interface:
+
+@example
+    /* ADDR is where the exception identifier is stored.
+       ID is the exception identifier.  */
+    void __raise_exception (void **addr, void *id);
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+By setting a breakpoint on @code{__raise_exception}
+(@xref{Breakpoints}), all exceptions that a program raises will be
+first caught by the debugger before any stack unwinding has taken
+place.  If you set a breakpoint in an exception handler instead of at
+the point of the raise, you will likely not easily have the
+information needed to know from where the exception was raised.
+
+By using a conditional breakpoint (xref{conditions}), you can cause
+the debugger to stop only when a specific exception is raised.
+Multiple conditional breakpoints can be used to stop the program when
+any of a number of exceptions are raised.
+
+@cindex catch exceptions
+To examine the exceptions that a piece of a program is prepared to
+catch, the @samp{info catch} function is used.  This function shows
+all exception handlers that are active in the current frame (for the
+current value of the program counter).  By traversing frames (using
+the @samp{up} and @samp{down} commands), other exception handlers can
+be observed.
+
+Breakpoints can be set at active exception handlers by using the
+@samp{catch} command.  The syntax is @samp{catch @var{exceptions}},
+where @var{exceptions} is a list of names of exceptions to catch.
+
+There are currently some limitations to exception handling in GDB.
+These will be corrected in a future release.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item If you call a function interactively it will normally return
+control to the user when it has finished executing.  If the call
+raises an exception however, the call may bypass the mechanism that
+returns control to the user and cause the program to simply continue
+running until it hits a breakpoint, catches a signal that GDB is
+listening for, or exits.
+@item You cannot raise an exception interactively.
+@item You cannot interactively install an exception handler.
