<h4 class="subsection">27.9.2 Ada Exception <span class="sc">gdb/mi</span> Catchpoints</h4>
<p>The following <span class="sc">gdb/mi</span> commands can be used to create catchpoints
that stop the execution when Ada exceptions are being raised.
<h4 class="subheading">The <code>-catch-assert</code> Command</h4>
<p><a name="index-g_t_002dcatch_002dassert-2996"></a>
<h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5>
<pre class="smallexample"> -catch-assert [ -c <var>condition</var>] [ -d ] [ -t ]
</pre>
<p>Add a catchpoint for failed Ada assertions.
<p>The possible optional parameters for this command are:
<dl>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-c </span><var>condition</var></samp>&rsquo;<dd>Make the catchpoint conditional on <var>condition</var>.
<br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-d</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>Create a disabled catchpoint.
<br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-t</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>Create a temporary catchpoint.
</dl>
<h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5>
<p>The corresponding <span class="sc">gdb</span> command is &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">catch assert</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<h5 class="subsubheading">Example</h5>
<pre class="smallexample"> -catch-assert

<h4 class="subheading">The <code>-catch-exception</code> Command</h4>
<p><a name="index-g_t_002dcatch_002dexception-2997"></a>
<h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5>
<pre class="smallexample"> -catch-exception [ -c <var>condition</var>] [ -d ] [ -e <var>exception-name</var> ]
[ -t ] [ -u ]
</pre>
<p>Add a catchpoint stopping when Ada exceptions are raised.
By default, the command stops the program when any Ada exception
gets raised. But it is also possible, by using some of the
optional parameters described below, to create more selective
catchpoints.
<p>The possible optional parameters for this command are:
<dl>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-c </span><var>condition</var></samp>&rsquo;<dd>Make the catchpoint conditional on <var>condition</var>.
<br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-d</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>Create a disabled catchpoint.
<br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-e </span><var>exception-name</var></samp>&rsquo;<dd>Only stop when <var>exception-name</var> is raised. This option cannot
be used combined with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-u</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-t</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>Create a temporary catchpoint.
<br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-u</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd>Stop only when an unhandled exception gets raised. This option
cannot be used combined with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-e</span></samp>&rsquo;.
</dl>
<h5 class="subsubheading"><span class="sc">gdb</span> Command</h5>
<p>The corresponding <span class="sc">gdb</span> commands are &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">catch exception</span></samp>&rsquo;
and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">catch exception unhandled</span></samp>&rsquo;.

<h5 class="subsubheading">Synopsis</h5>
<pre class="smallexample"> -catch-handlers [ -c <var>condition</var>] [ -d ] [ -e <var>exception-name</var> ]

<p>Add a catchpoint stopping when Ada exceptions are handled.
By default, the command stops the program when any Ada exception
gets handled. But it is also possible, by using some of the
optional parameters described below, to create more selective
catchpoints.
<p>The possible optional parameters for this command are:
