<h4 class="subsection">27.9.2 Ada Exception <small>GDB/MI</small> Catchpoints</h4>
<p>The following <small>GDB/MI</small> commands can be used to create catchpoints
that stop the execution when Ada exceptions are being raised.

<pre class="smallexample"> -catch-assert [ -c <var>condition</var>] [ -d ] [ -t ]
</pre></div>
<p>Add a catchpoint for failed Ada assertions.
</p>
<p>The possible optional parameters for this command are:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-c <var>condition</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Make the catchpoint conditional on <var>condition</var>.

<a name="GDB-Command-14"></a>
<h4 class="subsubheading"><small>GDB</small> Command</h4>
<p>The corresponding <small>GDB</small> command is &lsquo;<samp>catch assert</samp>&rsquo;.

</pre></div>
<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>
<p>The possible optional parameters for this command are:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-c <var>condition</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Make the catchpoint conditional on <var>condition</var>.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-d</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Create a disabled catchpoint.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-e <var>exception-name</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Only stop when <var>exception-name</var> is raised. This option cannot
be used combined with &lsquo;<samp>-u</samp>&rsquo;.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-t</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Create a temporary catchpoint.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>-u</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Stop only when an unhandled exception gets raised. This option
cannot be used combined with &lsquo;<samp>-e</samp>&rsquo;.

<p>The corresponding <small>GDB</small> commands are &lsquo;<samp>catch exception</samp>&rsquo;
