/* Macro to wrap up standard try/catch behavior.

   The double loop lets us correctly handle code "break"ing out of the
   try catch block.  (It works as the "break" only exits the inner
   "while" loop, the outer for loop detects this handling it
   correctly.)  Of course "return" and "goto" are not so lucky.

   For instance:

   *INDENT-OFF*

   volatile struct gdb_exception e;
   TRY_CATCH (e, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
     {
     }
   switch (e.reason)
